too young to tell.......wait until 7.5-12 months

I heard you can shine a flashlight through that area and if you see veins near the cloaca then it's a male (they lead to the hemipenes)....there is a thread here in this section somewhere on it, just look a couple of pages back.

Acording to Ron Tremper, if you use a 8x photographers loupe you can sex leos right out of the egg. Turn them upside down and use the loupe to help examine the area in front of the vent looking for preanal pores

petco was the spot and the little blurry shot is more male than the other still too young, i figure the big breeders incubate at high temps for their wholesale animals for faster production.
but the tails already show a promising carrot orange and 1 is bald and has no spots to speak of, Thanx Chris
