Sexing Ornates? . . . HELP (please)

Rick Millspaugh Mar 11, 2006 01:08 PM

Okay, I give. Just when I think I have it figured out . . . I don't (lol). Can anyone tell me how to sex young Ornates? They are Juvenals; I have had them for two months, so they are probably 3 to 4 months old. I have lots of experience with Bearded Dragons but this is my first try with Ornates, it’s a learning experience. Thanks!

No chance at sexing them at this age, way too young..

Thanks for the info Robert, I figured that was the answer but hoped for something more definitive.

There's no way to sex them by the photos but, I must point out, the cutie in the lower pict has a leg growing out of it's chest. Definitely a vet check is in order...

Ooops!! My eyes are getting bad in my old age, it seems. On re-look, noticed the Uro underneath. Cancel the vet visit.

Any wonder why I love this guy?!? Picked him out myself, I did! Met him, here, on this very Forum! Gotta love his sense of humor!
