Please Sex My Pygmies

[iwantone]

I think I have sussed out a couple of the males. Am I right in thinking that they have ridges on their back and a slightly longer tail? Could you tell me what you think these three are please.

Baby 1

Baby 2 & 3

Thank you in anticipation.

IMO baby #1 is a male. Im not sure about 2 & 3 though.

 

[froggielog]

I agree with Creature, baby 1 looks like a male
However on 2 im not sure but IMO I think it could be a girl and 3 another boy

How does baby one look male? Baby 2 and 3 look male to me and baby 1 female. Im only going off what my guys look like so far I could be wrong .

 

[froggielog]

I am 99.9% sure number 1 is a boy b/c of his bulge, as for the other 2...we need better shots

Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble sexing them. I don't handle them as a rule but took them out to get photos.

 

[c81kennedy]

But in #1 the body shape is more female the tail is shorter and the colors are more female. Here some pics of my guys there is a huge difference but maybe that just the way mine look.

 

[ataraxia]

no expert but i think 1,2,3 are female.

 

[c81kennedy]

Those are all pics of 2 pygmies. The green on is the male.

Honestly all 3 look the same sex to me, but if there was a difference I'd say #1 is a male since his tail base is more narrow. I've noticed females have a wider tail base. I thought my cb baby was a male comparing it to the other babies, but now that's it's older and I got some new adults I'm positive it's actually a female.

 

[iwantone]

Well I was leaning more towards number one being a male but as for other two I have no idea. I could do with some females lol.

Brev female have a rounder appearance and generally more muted colors. Males are slimmer and more vibrant colors. Males will have green turrets. With the pics you have posted I would say 1 and 3 are female. 2 looks male. Post more pics.
c81kennedy's pics are a perfect example of a male with a long tale and green eye turrets.

 

[c81kennedy]

Thanks dragongoddess I can figure out where people were getting that #1 was a male.

Damn Pygmies are freaking adorable lol

 

[ferretinmyshoes]

I've never had a male with green turrets and I've had 6 or so males.

 

[pssh]

I've only had males with bright green turrets. I've only had about 4 males total though, and I picked them out myself. That was one of the ways, along with the tail, that I could pick them out when I had kept them.

I think they all look female to me, but I'm not the best as sexing them.

but in #1 the body shape is more female the tail is shorter and the colors are more female. Here some pics of my guys there is a huge difference but maybe that just the way mine look.

holy crap that last pic is sweet i love the color!!!!

 

[ferretinmyshoes]

I had one male flash green on his turrets one time now that I think about it. But only the once. I judge on body shape and tail length, and right now all 3 babies look too similar to me to differentiate with any confidence...

 

[iwantone]

I can see the difference in the adults easily but like you say Ferret it is a bit difficult at the moment.

All 3 look to be female in my HO Tails are to short and no spines on back.(which can be seen on day 1 of hatching. JMO
