Hmmm.

I'm not great at this, and worse with Gracea, but by the way the anal scutes are shaping up I'm going Male, Male, Female. So probably the opposite is true.Click and drag me down to the editor

Actually number 1 could be a female now I had another look, so number 1 is definetely a male or a female.  :)

How old are they?

I had a similar problem with my two Hermanns of sexing them. I was told by the breeder 2 years ago that because of the temperature of the hatching there was a good chance I would get a male and female. Well now with my limited knowledge pretty certain I have 2 males because they get so worked up sometimes I have to seperate them. Once they are out of hibernation I will post some pics.

I hope to get some females but so difficult to get older ones that have been sexed. And if I buy younger hatchlings could end up with more females.

Hi Debbie,

It can be quite difficult to be 100% until they reach a certain size:-)

How heavy are they please?

The one on the right and middle look like boys, and the one on the left looks like a girl, but cannot be 100%
