How Old Until You Can Sex Them?

Paradon Jun 19, 2007 12:29 PM

I just bought a new tokay at Petco. I know I shouldn't support Petco, but I was looking for a mate for my female, so I couldn't resist. He is very skinny, but otherwise eating very well. He is juvy...maybe 4-5 inches...and I can see the V shape preanal pores pretty clearly. I think it's male for this reason, but I wanted to be sure. How old do they have to be before you can accurately sex them. Compare that to my female, it's hard to see the preanal pore on her, but it's clearly visible on this new one. So, could I have a male? I'll post a picture later for y'all to see.

4-5" inches or so.
