How do breeders determine the sex of hatchlings???

[Dooter]

I was told that Stanley was a male dragon by the breeder I got him from.

I honestly do not mind either way - male, female - they're all sweeties. :love5:

I am having serious doubts lately that Stanley is really a boy, though. Time will tell! I plan on just referring to him as a boy until I know for sure - he is only 4 months old.

But I am really wondering - HOW do the breeders have any idea about the sex when they are just hatchlings?!?

they do it the same way as a adult. it is only a best guess tho

Tasty Treat was 2 months old when we brought her home, and the breeder guaranteed that she was a female. we couldn't tell. well, my husband could - he swears that he can see the difference with the shape of their heads. good for him, cause i can't tell.

i guess they have been handling them for so long that they just know what to look for, and can spot it quickly.
