Danny

Thanks for the info.
My two have been fighting lately.Keano I know is male!!
I have presumed eric was a female so just wanted some confirmation.

Size of the tail and shape and angle of the anal scutes indicate female.

Easter Bunny · 19-05-2012, 07:20 PM

I thought male x

NATURALIS · 19-05-2012, 07:43 PM

what size is he/she ?

EJ · 19-05-2012, 11:50 PM

Definately a male... no doubt... without question... but Danny says it's a female so it must be a female.

Could we see a pic of the tail exposed? Like so its not tucked to the side if poss? Also one from behind to judge size compared to its legs etc?
