By the stomach I would say he is a male, but by his back, he looks female!


There is his back again...

Males have extreemely brightly colored bellies with NO white on them at all. The head is also too slender for a male. males heads tend to be very triangular and big. You have a very nice looking female geryi.

wait a minute...male geryis you say cant have ANY white on their belly? mine does and doug dix said he was a male, he has two large bumps near the base of his tail. he isnt extremly brightly colored on his belly, but he is supposed to be a male, he looks male to me, i wish i had my scanner up but i dont...once i do you can tell me if he looks male or not, but until then im assuming mine is a male. i personally never heard males cant have any white on their belly but that is just me let me know tho bc i might just have a uro that is female on my hands now...

If you read my entire post, you will notice that I note the head shape as well. Don't take things out of context. This uro has alot of white on the belly AND a slender smaller head. It is female.

How Is he taking thins out of context? You clearly said that males have NO white on the belly. His does. I don't know if were all looking at the same picture, but that head looks broad enough to be a male to me, and the color on the belly is much brighter than most females I've seen. I'm going with male.

That geryi is very yellow top and bottom for a juvenile. He looks about 3/4 grown. I think it'd be very unusual for a female to be that yellow. If I'm wrong, that's going to be a screamer female. I'm still saying male.
