Okay, she was traded to me as female (3 months) and now she is 5.5 months and I am unsure of sex. I lifted her tail to check and I can't tell if it's a boy or girl because she's either a girl with an indention or a boy with little bulges. I believe she (or he) is orange sunfire and she is currently 16 inches. I can bairly give her enough food and she's housed with what I believe to be a 3 month old male. I have had not had any problems with the two housed together, but if it's a male, then I've got to make plans on seperating them. She's more easily handible now and I don't see the black beard very often. I have anothe male that is 4 months and he has bigger more defined bulges so I'm sure he's a male. Based on the info I'm giving you guys and the picture, what is your opinions? Anyone have an idea?

Im not sure if the pictures are working. Here is a different one. Please let me know.
Jeff

Here you go. I hope it works.

Here's number two

You can't tell from that angle. What you need to do is hold the dragon facing away from you, lift the tail about 90 degrees and take a picture of its butt where the tail connects.

This is the best butt picture I could get. Hope it helps

Looks like a male to me. See the hump on each side with a "valley" in between? A feamle would have one little hump in the middle below the vent on the tail side.

That looks like a male, but for future reference, if it was a female it would be much more necessary to seperate it! A 5.5 month old female could become gravid, but it would be devistating to her body. Never raise males and females together past 3-4 months. They WILL breed too soon and the poor female will likely develop MBD or become egg bound.

The other male in there is only 3 months old, so I wasn't worried about her becoming gravid too soon. Thanks for the adive anyway.

I have had to split many males from their clutches at 3 months because of fighting and bobbing. I have to seperate almost all out by 4 months. I am not trying to lecture, just a friendly warning.
