Thanks, Josh

I've got a couple pics of juvi male pores. The first pic is of Rigel's pores when I first got him at a few months old. The lower pic is a shot of his pores after they started "popping".

thanks. ok, so heres what i was wondering, do females pores always look closed like the first one or is it possible that they could have secretions like the second pick. mine are adults, and the male has very long secretions coming from the pores but the other one has smaller. however the pores are not closed like in the first pick.

I'd say male then. The pores on my female are no where even near as developed as the pores in the first picture. The pores in the first pic, would be on the well developed end of the spectrum for a female so if yours are even more developed than these it's probably a male. How big are your guys?

mine are both adults, about 14 inches or so.
