ive had my bosc a while now he?she is now 18 inches ,id like to know what sex he/she is so does anyone know the sexual differences, i know theyre hard to tell apart but is there different head or tail shapes or anything like that,the other day he/she went to toilet and the hemipenus(i think thats what its called) came out it wasnt heavily flowered i hope you know what i mean it was long and looked like it had one flower on top

Try and be around when he/she has a poo... the males often every their hemipenes when doing their business so if you happen to catch a glimpse of that then there's little doubt really I'll admit though... it's a bit hit and miss! I've got a baby bosc that I have yet to have this fun with... no point me trying to sex him/her now given that he/she's only about 7inches nose to tail tip! _________________ http://www.iherp.com/tea

Hi Mark, he is a beauty. I cannot believe that my little one will grow to be this big in just under a year! What size viv do you keep him in? Do you let him roam your house? How tame is he?
