could this be confirmation it's a boy?

kimmerz · 02-06-2008, 02:42 PM

I just caught one of my baby hermanns on top of one of my other youngsters and he had his mouth open and his tounge hanging out, when i picked "him?" up he had what looked like a tiny little thing coming out his tail, even though "he's" less than a year old could this be confirmation i have a boy?

I would say so<g> boys do like flashing<g>.

kimmerz · 02-06-2008, 02:52 PM

lol it just seems strange that he is less than a year old and he's telling me he's a boy, well Izzy is a boy lol does this mean that the tort he had mounted was a girl? or do they just like to mount anyone and flash lol.

hi yes it very much sounds like he is a boy

but if thats the correct picture then he is not a hermans he is a redfoot.

lol no that pics like 5 months old lol i do know the diffrence between a red n a hermanns

ive just had a look at Izzy or should I say Izzman and what I thought was coming out seems that the tip of his tale is just longer than i thought it was, so could the behavior point to a boy?

hi yeah i figured that was a different picture

. i would say the first time you see a hermans boy bit you wont describe it as a little thing not going by my wifes reaction,.

maybe she is easily impressed though

.im surprised to see them flash at that age although its been some years since i had any male hatchlings at least i think so.im more inclined to think it was dominance at that age although i have had young tgg expose themselves on the hot tile i cant imagine why.unless you are sure that you saw a penis i wouldnt make any life changing decisions yet.

I agree Terry more likely a dominance thing<g>.

kimmerz · 02-06-2008, 05:45 PM

yea i thought i seen his little torty privates but he was a bit muddy and it looked like something yellow was sticking through but then when I went back to see him later he just has a tiny yellow hook sort of thing on his tail, I think I jumped the mark abit then and it was a false alarm

but it was so bizzare how he was standing tall and hanging his tounge out, if he was showing dominance he was being naughty because Paris is the biggest and shes already gone round everyone and climbed on them but never stuck her tounge out lol.
