What am I?

Skribbles Jun 05, 2006 06:23 PM

Just want to confirm a couple things about my Uro.

First off, I bought *her* as a Yellow Nigerian, is this true? From my reading, Nigerians and Saharans are the same?

Second, I know the picture is poor (so is my camera) but can you tell if *she* is male or female.

Thanx

I'm sorry, but I don't think anyone can tell species, let alone sex from the pictures. Can you mooch a camera off a friend or family member?

And Saharan = Nigerian = geryri.

C'mon, Skribbs, hit the flash button! I think you'll have to look for obvious femoral pores ( or the lack of ) for sex determination with geyri. As adults, the males should be brighter but, youngsters will have to be sexed by spreading their cute little legs. Yesimhavingfun could probably clear this up...

I agree that better pics are in order to determine the sex of your uro.

The pictures a poor quality but even with good pictures it looks like the Uro is to young to tell the sex .

You need to get clear pics before anyone can tell the sex.That's if someone can, as sexing uro's can be difficult.
