LG6 sexing

Post by motagaz »

Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on sexing my LG6 Whiptails.
As far as i know they were about 6 months old when i got them (now about 8 1/2 months old) and all are now about 8-9cm in length. I have 4 and they all seem to be doing well with fat belly's.
Two of them seem to be slightly slimmer bodied than the others but apart from that there are no outward signs of sexes, i.e. no cheek odontodes etc.
I realise they are still relatively young and still have some growing to do as well but am unsure if sexing them is more dependant on age or size.
Any comments and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Tks :)
