Arch the tail up high in the air while dragon is flat on the table like in the picture there. It's VERY important to be sure because a female can become eggbound + act frantic if she can't pas her eggs. This picture shows how to arch the tail to check the gender [ scroll down to it ]

AHBD":yw10wsi8 said:Post a couple pics of her rear end here, I or others can usually tell. And this may or may be egg related, but calcium is essential either way. Also a good multivitamin used VERY lightly every other day for a week or so, then just twice a week. Put the calcium powder on one meal a day [ if she eats more insects then use it on them, if she eats more veggies then use them ] and do the vitamin on the alternate day, switching off every other day.
How is she doing today ?

How is your girl doing tonight?
AHBD is excellent at sexing! LOL
To me, she looks female, or am pretty sure she is. There are small or reduced femoral pores but
females do have them. Males have much larger & pronounced pores as well as clearly defined
lateral bulges up the edge of the outer edges of the tail base.
The calcium powder should be fine, as long as she eats enough to ingest it, that is. It is highly
possible she is developing eggs, so do keep an eye on her just in case.
She is a cutie for sure. Is her beard still black also?

It's best to set up a laybox ASAP, here's a small one that can go in the tank [ I used one like this for some of my females at one time ] You can use a sand or sand/soil mix , pour enough warm water in so that if you mix it very well it is not wet but damp enough to dig a cave in it. This plastic container is about 22 L by 12 W by 7 H [ approximately ] I cut the corner off the lid to make an entrance. Introduce her in to it and then keep a log next to it so she can access it.

You can also opt for a larger one like this [ not mine ]
