Is Ra male?

Sunfox Sep 09, 2003 11:09 AM

I have a pic (it's not great though, because it's pretty fuzzy) of Ra's underside. The resolution isn't very good (I have to work on the camera settings). Can you see the pores enough and are those hemipenal bulges?
Thanks for the help, guys

Muzzle looks like his pores are WAY more pronounced than Ra's and I'm pretty sure my uros a male, although those sort of look like hemipenal bulges on Ra (from what I can see) so its tough to tell. But, if I had to pick right now from that picture I would lean more towards female. Hope this helps, but I would also get some opinions from other people just to be sure.

Humm, it's pretty difficult to tell...but, i have Rico sitting with me right now, who HATES for me to look at his pores and such, but from what i can see he looks very similar to rico and i am 99% sure Rico is a male and so is doug. Mayeb a better picture would help, but it does look male to me, is Ra a juvi or adult?
Thanks and good luck!

Ra just turned 1-year old on Aug. 24th, 2003. Is that still considered juvie or subadult?

Thanks for the help
