Male/Female

I have a juvi dragon that is about 6 months old that looks female to me but has some pretty distinct pores on the legs. Could anyone please post a dragon about the same age showing a male and female? Would greatly appreciate it. I will also try to get pics of mine too and get opinions. I would like to get citrus to pair it with in the future but need to know what sex I need to be buying!! LOL Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link. I know what to look for, and I believe it to be a female but has me a little stumped since there are significant pores on the legs. I am by no means an expert so thought maybe I could get some opinions. i will try to get pics this evening.

both males and females have femoral pores thus its not a very good indicator of sex. The technique of placing a dragon down on a surface at eye level facing away from you, then lifting up the tail to about 90 degrees and looking at just before the vent (tail side) to see if you find one bulge or two..is about the best way to go.

Thanks!! That is really what I thought all along but it is always nice to get opinions from more experienced eyes. I wasn't sure the picture would turn out well enough to tell.
