Male or female?

[PrettyGirl]

Could you guys tell me what you think the sex of my dragon is by the pictures I provide she used to look like a female to me hence the name pretty girl but now she looks like there might be lumps on the side I don't know if you can tell from these pictures but here you AR

To me he looks male - I see two bumps but some others can way in on this too

Looks male to me as well.

Looks like your little lass is actually a little lad. You’ve got a male there.

That's what it looks like to me too but just wanted some feedback on that because a couple months ago it looked female to me with a bump in the middle is it possible that it could have changed genders since I've heard that they can do that???

I don't think they can spontaneously change genders, no... but I agree with the others, looks like you've got a little boy on your hands!

Sometimes it's just more difficult to tell when they are young.

I think if anything, the most probable explanation would be that you didn’t check closely enough/it was too hard to see or tell at the time, or they didn’t fully develop yet because that can sometimes happen but it’s rare.

And no they can’t change genders after hatching. However if they’re in the egg, depending on the temperatures you can sort of control the outcome of most genders, sooo this article I found could probably explain the process I think you heard of better. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-15/temperature-affects-sex-determination-in-reptiles/8620310

In short though, they can’t change gender after hatching. And apparently with the egg gender switch thing, usually males can turn female in the egg but it’s rarely the latter.
