|
|
Hi All.
Please can someone maybe sex my 2 cresties from the 2 pics I have attached.....Not that clear so if need be I'll try to take a few more.
Also one has been very quiet the last few days, still eating but just seems a bit off colour. Do they go quiet at times during mating season or when growing into adults etc??
Thanks. |

Depends on their age,but at the moment they both look female to me.You'll find with most lizards have their quite times,it may be something as simple as the weather or light levels in the room,I wouldn't worry unless it looks like it's losing weight or acting strange. |

Hard to tell really - the photos are a bit blurry. A few questions which may help determine the sex - how old are they? how big are they (total length) and how much do they weigh? _________________ Best wishes, Jackie

I'd say female too, if you confirm their weights like Jackie & Thomas say then we can be alot more certain. _________________

Hi All,
Thanks for your replies.
I have tried to add 2 better pics, hope you can see a bit better, sorry camera not very good!!
They are both around the same size - 7.5 inches (19 cm) from snout to end of tail. Scales I have are not that good but around 25kg and they are both around 18 - 20 months old.
Look forward to your replies.
Thanks. |
