As far as I know, the sexual dimorphism involving tail to body ratio only applies to hardwicki. It was noted in an article in the journal of the Bombay Natural History Society many years ago (you all subscribe to that, right?) and seemed to hold true in most of the adult hardwicki I've seen. It would be a difficult principal to make use of if you haven't looked at a lot of hardwicki (SHAES has) and confirmed by comparing against femoral pores, hemipenal bulges, behaviour, egg-laying, etc.

In Malis, the "circle dance" that they sometimes do, is it only restricted to the male of the species or do the females do it as well?
Ra has done it a couple of times and I am not 100% sure of his sex. I think he's male but I want to be sure.

Thanks

Sorry but I need to see the whole lizard. You go by the length of the tail to the body and also the shape. from what I see it might be a male.

Hi again I just saw your picture on the photo gallery and I think that is a Male. good luck.
