Gender question?

Skyclad Apr 06, 2005 03:15 PM

Just wanted to know if anyone knows a way to determine the sex of a JCP. Is there any specific blotches? Coloration? mannerisms? bathroom habits? (and please don't say that a male forgets to flush lol). Or if I have to take it to a vet to find out, how much would that cost? The reason I would like to know is because I want to determine how large it'll get due to the fact that females tend to grow much larger. Thanks again!

The only way to be certain is by probing. If you have no experience doing that I would strongly suggest letting an experienced breeder do it. Some vets don't even know how, so before you let the vet do it make sure they know how.
