I believe the Petrosaurus you show is not a thalassinus but

a P repens. Sexing methods should be similar to the baja

blue rocks. The easiest/quickest way is to check for post

anal enlarged scales. If they are there, she is most likely

a he.



I don't have a good photo of an adult baha black rock male

that I can show but those I have are of photos my clients

have sent and don't really feel good about sharing them

without permission. Especially here on a public forum.



I do have some good news that's happened here in the last

few days though. Got to witness my first and second blue

rock breedings from two pairs. I posted a pic but was so

excited that I posted it to your original thread below lol.

Not my best shot as it was taken through plexiglass and also

in close proximity to the merc vapor basking lamp which

most always screws up pic color/quality.
