Hi

Hi,

I've had my new leachie for about a month now. Until now I've left 'him' alone to settle in. Tonight I had a good look at his vent area to see if he can be sexed yet. He's approximately 8 months old and he's an Island E henkeli.

As yet there is no evidence of a bulge but I'm sure I can see preanal pores.

Here's some photos:





I'm about 90% sure it's a male but would really appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I'm thinking too. They do seem very definite 'doughnut' shaped pores. Very Happy
