I just noticed today that Beau is a girl which i'm really happy about. I'm sure Shifter's a boy but i just want to make sure. his Cloaca's not that big but he doesn't have a big rounnd belly and he's pretty big. I'm going to post a few pics in my gallery so could you guy's please refer to them and tell me what you think. I will label the pics sex check. I would post them straight onto the forum but my pics are always to big which is really annoying. Thanks in advance

Maybe. He does have a small swelling. I know my female has no swelling at all, but I've heard people say their females have some slight swelling.

But I wouldn't be so quick to be sure the other one is a girl. Some can take 18 months or more to reach sexual maturity.

I am with Kaysie on this. Some of my males in the past ( but not many mind you ) have taken a while to reveal there sexuality, eventually they come out of the closet and spring a surprise on you.

The majority of my fully mature females have a small bump but nothing significant - they generally get quite rotund as well but once again some stay fairly slim.

It depends on individual specimens - one thing you can guaratee though, they know who's who ;)

Good luck and most importantly ENJOY :D
