sexing my ornate uros

asch803 Mar 02, 2006 11:39 AM

my ornate uros are approx 5 months old now and i've got 2 that may or may not be a pair (i hope they are, but...). they certainly get along well and usually sleep in the same cave even though there are 3 options...This is my question, is there a site someone could direct me to that shows the basic anatomy of the uro? i know that you can sex ornates by checking their "femoral pores"...ok, what does that mean and what am i checking for? Is it possible that i can take pics of the ornates and someone might be able to make an educated guess as to their sexes? Thanks!

Andy

If they indeed are only 5 months old you'll need a trained eye to sex them if they are even big enough. Talk to Doug Dix or Lindsay Pike and see if they can help you but they might just be to young for you to find out right now.
