Dumerils are pretty easy to sex, the males have spurs while the females do not. Sometimes on very young dumerils it can be a little hard to see the spurs, but if its a male they will be there. If you are sexing a one year old and two year old, you should not have any problem seeing the spurs, or lack of spurs. Let me know if you have any questions.

thanks,
Erin
