Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone can tell the sex of my water. I have not handled this water for about six or so months and could not get great pictures but did what I could. I held the monitor while my wife snapped a few shots, unfortunately this was the clearest picture.

While my water did not bite or kill me LOL, I could tell by It's breathing and puffing up that It was stressed/nervous!!! I am just fine with admiring my water from behind the plexi-glass and don't plan on taking it out again, unless really needed. I can however enter It's home base to change it's water and feed with no issue, even still I am always cautious. On a side note, when I did put the water monitor back in It's enclosure, It acted like business as usual and assumed its regular activity( I was afraid It was going to go hide out).

Thanks

I could be very wrong here, because I dont know much about sexing monitors. I do know that at that age (looks young) they are very difficult, if not impossible to accurately sex.
By the tail bulge it looks like a male to me, but what the hell do i know. I bet you FR could give you a straight answer.

Hey newstorm, thank you again for your reply!!!!!!! I think you are right about my water being to young to sex properly. I had some others from another forum/sight tell me the same thing althought they were leaning towards male too and some of them keep waters so It sounds about right.

I will post some more pics as he/she gets bigger!!!!

Thanks again!!!!!!!!
