Veiled Age and Sex?

[Dexter’s Mom]

Hello,

I specifically asked for a male, so I’m hoping this is one. I’m also curious if anyone can tell age from these pics. No one seemed to be able to answer that for me. Meet Dexter! This forum has been amazing! Thank you all for your huuuuge wealth of information!

Male, looks to be about 3-4 months old. Congratulations, and welcome! You've come to the best place around for reliable information.

Would you be interested in a husbandry review to make you sure you're off to a good start?

You beat me to it, I actually knew it was a male. Now if it was a panther, I'd have to flip a coin, cause I still can't tell the difference.

Thank you, I was thinking he had to be about that age, but couldn’t be sure. I’m new to this. He’s pretty awesome so far. I’ll fill out the info sheet. Should I post it here?

Congrats! It’s A Boy!

You're welcome! I have a soft spot for veileds.

It'd probably be best to start up a new post under General, and fill the form there.

Hi, do you know how long he is and maybe his weight? Sorry for going off topic

He’s about 4 inches long, not sure in the weight. I’ve never had him to the vet.

Ok thx he would be about 5 months now, right?

He's pretty! Where did you get him?

I’m guessing so. They didn’t tell me how old he was, but on here I’m being told about 4 months when I got him. Does that seem right to you as well?

The same place I’ve been getting fish for years. It’s called RMS Aquatics. It’s a local place. They’re pretty knowledgeable about fish and reptiles, so that was helpful. I just never asked how old he was lol

Yeah that’s what I would say 4-5 months
