What gender?

[Nicholas]

I was wondering if anyone could help me sex this guy, I got him from someone that said he was a male, but I just wanted to double check. I'm just not sure if they really knew what they were talking about as they were housing the poor guy in sand, no UVB light and were only feeding him 6 crickets a day and fed daily mealworms! He's aprox 1.5 years old and 16' from snout to end of tail.

Can you take a top view pic, and perhaps another one of the vent area with a little less flash? Looks male to me, especially with the pores, but the flash has kind of washed it out, so I'm not 100% sure.

A top view/whole body pic also helps because we can see the body and head shape

Okay, I'm at work right now but ill take new pics once I get home with no flash

I'm sorry it took a while to get these new pictures, hopefully they are good enough

I think it's a female from that new picture.

Well he/she has been glass dancing like crazy the past week should I give him/her a lay box to be safe? I got it off kijiji a week ago and I think they weren't taking proper care and it was being housed with other dragons.

It's possible, but I'm not sure she's big enough for eggs. She probably just wants out. Glass dancing is not just a sign of needing to lay.

Yep, the new picture looks more like a female to me as well.

Yes, I think it's a girl, too. I checked the pics in the "sexing" article (above) and that lump is more a girl lump than a boy lump. If you want to post a couple more pics in low lighting that might help, but it looks like you have a girl, congrats!
