How are you sexing them?



Not in any way implying you're doing anything wrong.



afaik there are only four known methods....



Raise em up and the ones that have babies are females. Pretty much foolproof but costly



Probe sex organs - IMO good probability of accuracy once you know how. Possible to injure animal (female) if not done correctly. Possible to get incorrect results - both sexes, either not enough preasure on a male and low insertion depth or too much preasure on a female and damage organs. (or so I've read, never done this method myself)



Pop hemipenes - also good probability of accuracy once you know how. Also possible to injure animal (again, IMO) NOT likely to incorrectly sex a female as a male.



Palpation - My prefered method. Simple, easy and IMO very accurate once you learn how and with multiple animals (a litter) easy to get experience. Possible to incorrectly sex a male as a female but not the other way around.
