Believe the experts,females have no claws at all.Sexing can also be done by doing a scale count.This is easy,if you have a shed skin to work with.Males have longer tails.Count the ventral scales from the vent to the tip of the tail.Compare this count with another one of your females.Scale counts probably differ slightly from island to island,but should not differ much.jenni/
