Help With Telling The Gender Of My New Beardie

[Karoo2024]

Hello All! We recently welcomed a new member into the family . A little orange hypo blue bar around 3 months old. I'm calling the little fellow Marco for the time being but I'm not 100% sure if it's a boy or a girl. I've tried checking the different ways suggested and can't tell for sure. Is there an age that it's best to check at? I looked it up and found a lot of different suggested ages to check at so I thought I'd ask on here

Males can be detectable from early on. Females can be tricky because some males develop late and can be mistaken for female until they do.
I'll post a photo of candlelighting. Be careful not to burn him/her even l.e.d. lights get hot.

Post a few pics with his tail arched up, you can use a flashlight but also pics without using the flashlight. For babies it's sometimes better without it.

So initially I was thinking boy because I could have sworn I saw two bumps under the tail and it has very noticeable pores but now I'm really not sure. I did the flashlight test and it looked most like the bottom right picture.

Looks female. Still, can you post a couple pics using the flaslight ?

 

[Karoo2024]

Yes, I can definitely do that.

You have to pose it like you did in the first pics, tail arched. Like shown in the pics xp29 posted

yeah it’s still kinda of hard to tell with those photos but don’t be surprised if Marco is a female haha.

 

[Karoo2024]

Alright, I got some of the tail back pictures. Sorry some of them are not overly clear (towards the end he or she was kinda just done sitting still haha), but figured I'd post them anyways in case they could somehow help

Now showing little nubs. Possible male, in a month or so it will be even more clear. Some just show later than others. Waiting a bit will show , it's still a toss up.
