I finally figured out how to post this image! Male Or Female Mali?

markseelos805 Jul 02, 2004 09:30 PM

Does this Mali look like a male or female? The People I got it from said that he was born in october. How does he look? Healthy? How about his coloration?
Thank You,
Mark

looks OK to me, but its also just a above shot pic. To tell if male or female.... cant from this pic. u need to look at his back legs, the underneath. If he is male he will have small bumbs/prods/spines what ever u want to call them on the underside of his back legs. females will have VERY small bumbs, or more commonly none. If u still dont know (i know from experience trying to sex a reptile can be confusing, and you just want a nice answer) take a picture of the underside of his legs. Put him on a piece of glass and have a friend lay down on ground and take a shot at his underside.

Does anything look wrong with him though? I checked and he had the "spines" going down both legs and connecing in the middle.

Sounds like he's a he. He looks ok to me, pretty healthy but needs some food, however, i am just one man. Make sure his tail is fat (height wise/thickness). a fat tail = lots of fat = healthy. As you probably know, the best information is that which is learned through MANY sources. Never take one person's advice, make sure many others agree.
