A couple baby carpets. The two in this pic happen to be a boy and girl.

how can you tell the males from the females at such a small size? We just hatched our first baby carpet ourselves and would like some tips on sexing this species of hatchlings :)

They're extremely easy to sex right out of the egg the same way you would a panther baby. I've never been good at sexing babies in pics, but it's obvious when you see one in person...the males just have a thicker more gradually tapering tale base.
 
Thanks everyone. There are only 4 right now. 2.1 sex ratio, and another egg sweating last I looked. There are many more eggs though, with more due from this clutch and others in the future. I'll be selling them in a few months when they're old enough.
