Can these be sexed with an otoscope, and if so, are there any online photos of the inner cloaca that shows the diagnostic features of each sex?

YOU MIGHT TRY CONTACTING ANY OF SEVERAL COMMERCIAL CROCODILE FARMS IN AUSTRALIA VIA A GOOGLE SEARCH. ONE IN DARWIN AREA COMES TO MIND. I'VE SEEN VIDEO OF THEM CHECKING HATCHLINGS... CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS WITH A OTOSCOPE OR MERE TONGUE DEPRESSOR-LIKE TOOL. PRINCIPALLY LOOKING FOR A PROTRUDING STRUCTURE POINTING TOWARDS THE CLOACA THAT INDICATES A MALE. WITH LARGER ANIMALS IT IS ACCOPLISHED BY A SIMPLE INDEX FINGER INSERTION!
