Can you tell the sex?

Just by looking at the tails from this way?

Can tell too accurately like that. The only way to tell from that pic would be too look at the broadness of the neck and the size of the head. Males have more broad shoulders, thicker necks, and larger heads. This form of sexing isn't accurate though and it is kinda hard to tell from your pic anyways. Can you get a pic of the underside at the base of the tail. Also you can usually tell a male from a female just from looking from the side becuase males bulges are very noticeable.

you obviously know a lot more then i do, but i dont agree that you can tell sex from the shoulders. i have some females bulkier then then some males, and vice versa. i think that maybe in general the males are bulkier, but not always.

There is exceptions to everything. In my post I also said that it wasnt an accurate method.

Almost sure that the top one is the male.
