I know y'all are waiting for this

Bored, nothing to do significant.
So it is body shots, and vents of the monitors I posted previously. If my dial up works you get picts anyway. All just ate an hour or so previous. All have the red eyes you mentioned Frank. So I think you are right and they are all boys.
The two full tailed ones are 3 ft and the stub is 2 and a half. Stub is the youngest by a year or maybe two.

I have 2 males. Their eyes are sort of gold colored.
One is very gracile and one very robust. I thought it was a case of sexual dimorphism, but it seems there is no way to tell sex of a sav by his body or head shape.
However, you can poop him in the bath so he everts. If you see him do this, you can be sure enough he's not female:

Unfortunately, there are no known photos of hemiclitori for comparison.
Eggs would prove something though. An adult female is supposed to be dropping eggs all, according to what I read.

Hello DWS,
I have photos of sav hemiclitoris and hemipenes... The only ones that you need to see are the hemipenes because they "flower" at the end- also the hemiclitoris seem to evert from the inside sides of the vent whereas the hemipenes evert or seem to invert up and out from the bottom sideline of the tail- I don't know if this makes sense to you without seeing it happen on both sexes... Best to you- Mike
