Sexing L091

[Triactis Trainer]

I have 3 close to adult L091 and was wondering if they were too young to sex or if not, are they males/females. Thanks in advance. http://imgur.com/a/WeuiX

Im thinking the left one may be a female?

All females based on the pics. Perhaps you can wait for them to go over 6" and try again.

How can you tell males and females here? From what I know it is the head shape and whether it is in an arrow or a blunted shape, also from the girth in the belly or if it is a linear path from a broad head.

Im gonna ask for opinions on mine here too. They are both around 5.5".

With Leporas, solely relying on head shapes is very difficult. Both male and female can own a "pointed" head shape based on my experience.
Girth on the other hand, can be tricky because all of these specimens in the market are wild-caught, under-fed, and not yet fully mature. Does a skinny Lepora mean its a male specimen? I tend to disagree because once its properly fed, it could end up being stout and then be branded as female instead (?).
Be patient. Provide them with nice wooden caves and they will pair on their own.

Looks like a male and a female, but still a bit small to be 100% sure.

One of mine has been guarding a clay cave for some time now while the other seems to have no interest. Id like to get some wood caves. Either make them or try to find some to buy. Any recomendations on where to buy them or type of wood to use?

i took a limb from a dried out dead oak tree, and then bored out the end of it. The bigger the cave you want, the bigger the drill bit you need.
