From what i've seen online, I think female but I am new to this whole thing. Sorry for the somewhat blurry pictures, its hard to take pictures with my camera. I think it is also shedding its belly as well.

Angle isn't quite right to be able to tell. You need to be able to see the inch or so from the vent to the tail.

I agree, she's definitely female. Her lump will be more pronounced as she gets older. You should check that photo against the article on sexing in the "Care Sheets and Articles" It shows definitely how to tell it's a femaie, from about 6 mo you can usually tell for a female. A male takes a bit longer. We always thought our 7 mo old Rubio was female until he was 6 mo old and started to take the stance as a male. We could see the sideways lumps along the tail just past the vent. Issy we were able to tell from 5 mo, her lump was pronounced. Female lumps are sideways along the vent on the tail side. Sweetie we thought was male until she laid an egg (& no other dragons in the house). So each female is different. Congratulations on your baby, she is soooo cute :love5: . I love babies :laughing6: , but they take no time to become teenagers (juvies), with all the hormones :roll: that go with... :blob5: :blob8: :blob5:

She has bumps on her "inner thighs", are those just glands?

Here are less blurry photos!

To be honest Im seeing male.
Ususally with a female you have the nice bump at the vent then a smooth tail. With this little beardie Im seeing definate ridges on either side of the tail.

My female is the same, and the vet has confirmed she is a she! lol As there are no obvious femoral pores i would also say female!

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
