Here's mine, he's about 4" now, has grown quite a bit since these pics were taken, and the "whip" on the end of his tail is much longer now.

If we are comparing whiptails, can I suggest posting pics like the ones below. They make comparisons easier. You will note from these two pics the pointed fins of a male and the rounded fins of a female. Also the markings are different as these are two different species.

Yeah, I just thought that if we are all showing off our whiptails, we might have a little look into the differences between them. Who knows, we might even learn something. :)
