Marking Babies

[ArielAnn]

so i did a little research and notice people use sharpies or nail polish to mark their babies. is this ok?

also, how young can i mark them at? I've seen people at reptile shows mark really young babies, so i just want to be sure it's ok. you can't always trust those guys

a friend and i have an agreement that we are going to split our babies since we used his female and my male. but my friend is younger so i just want to mark the ones that are better eaters for him to take him so he won't have to deal with beardies that won't eat.

thank you

well personally i think that nail polish would probably work for that,
i to have seen it used at reptile shows, and the person that i got my Beardie from
used it to mark the gender of the babies, and they looked very healthy,
so if i was in that situation i would use it, as long as it was dry before i
put they back together, (if they are together) because i wouldn't want them to
lick wet nail polish,

hope this helps ya

ps: sorry for the late reply

You can also use fabric paint. It's no toxic and come in lot of colors, I feel its safer then fingernail polish.
Since babies shouldn't be sold before 6 weeks, I don't see why you would need to mark them before that.
