Speciea and sex?

Cetacea Jun 29, 2010 06:15 PM

I got two HL's recently at a reptile expo, and would like to double check with other people as to the species and sex. I believe they are Phrynosoma hernandesi. I was told what sex he thought they were, but thought I'd see what you guys think.

I also noticed that the bigger one has been making a hiss sound every so often. He opens his mouth and a little hiss comes out for less then a second. Any idea what that is about?

After further research it was decided they are Phrynosoma douglassii. Not positive on the sex still, but you can see them live here http://www.justin.tv/cetacea

Well, turns out both were girls. The one died after a miscarriage, and the other just had 8 healthy babies today. I have them on my webcam if you want to see.
