Oh Boy! No really a boy!

:roll: So today after giving Penelope a bath, I was holding her in my hand in such a :wink: "Hot Dog" hold, when i finally saw (No pun intended) an opportunity to lift her tale to confirm her sex or at least give it a try. I had been studying the pick on here and on the breeder site so I had a much better idea then at previous times.
I lifted her tail and saw :shock: two oval thingy's south of her vent in the thick of her tail. I gasped and put the tail down but then I slowly lifted it back up and held her steady with my thumb and there they were again! Could this be? (I know a newbie comment coming) I chose her thinking she was a she and named her a she name and when I saw her wave I thought it was a lock :idea: . But then I read that the wave thing is not gender specific and second guessed myself.
My gosh, Penelope is a Leviathan 8) ...I should stop saying she now huh. I don't have pictures but I will next time my daughter is home to take them. My...Penelope/Levi has been growing really quickly in the past several weeks, he's about to shed again.

I feel happy either way but what a shock!

Same thing happened to me :lol: My dragon went from Fiona to Trey. But on the bright side you don't have to worry about your dragon laying infertile eggs!

You know that was my first thought! Big reliefe there that's for sure . How old is Trey? Leviathan is 5 1/2 months old.

Surprise is right! :wink: I'm glad I held off on the pink foe rock sculpture I was going to make ! :roll:

Same thing happened to us, but she is already a Clovis, so now she is Miss Clovis.

I'm still plenty satisfied with my "Levi", no matter if he is a boy or girl. Today I got the courage to hold the Repiworms in the palm of my hand to reinforce the positive feeling when he sees them. I'm just wanting to raise him happy

 

[littlesavedgirl]

So after bath time I gave Levi's tale a lift to take a peek... :shock: Yup, still a boy.

 

[Claudiusx]

LOL, our son made me do this 3 days in a row and then again after a couple of weeks...after that I asked him if he was still a boy...I did that 3 days in a row and he got the message :mrgreen:

it is pretty cool that most of us can sex a dragon b/c of the info we rec'd on this site!

When I picked up Nezzi from her previous owner, I had been under the impression that she was a he. The previous owner and said his name was Draco and he's a boy. I had just purchased a new baby Dresden who is a boy, and I would have 2 males, but the idea of having a male and female was much more enticing. Imagine my surprise when I lifted the tale and saw one lump! I about peed my pants in excitement. So my he turned into a she.

Of course now I have to be extra careful to not have any babies by accident, but I love that I am now a 1.1.0 owner

Congratulations on your new(ish) man!

 

[littlesavedgirl]

Well thank you, my boy is proving to be quite a "kick in the pants" :wink:

 

[Claudiusx]

LOL.
