Ok. The thing is that I have a male to. When I try to put them together they start to fight. Those that mean that it`s two males or what? Because I thougt just like you, that it is a female.

Actually to me it looks like a male. His pores are pretty big, and the 2 buldges look like a male to me as well. Is there anyone close to you that you could have them sex it properly for you, such as a breeder or a show in your area?

I also would say male do to you say they fight. Usually uros do well in colonies(females) anyways usually do.

No i don`t have someone that can help me whit that. But the fact that they fight when I put them togehter makes me belive that it`s a male to. I was hopping that it would be a female, but you can`t have it all

Haha that's true!! I Honestly think that it is a male. The pores are pretty big and very noticable. Maybe if you could take another pic or two it would help a bit!

Ok here is another pic. Don`t now if it helps that much.

YEa I am going to stick with male here, Pores are fairly large and it looks like a male under there. LOL Have you held it to your other male? They should look pretty similar.

miklo Apr 12, 2007 09:03 AM

Yes I have, the thing is that the "male" has even bigger pores. That`s is why I`m not sure of this one

What kind of uro?

I know nigerians, the more color then it's a male, less color it's female. Like yellows will have very bright yellow bellies verses brown bellies females have.

It`s an Uromastyx aegyptia too. I have two aegyptia, when I compaire the male whit this one, the males pores are bigger.
