netted 1
i think this netted is a boy but just want to know what u guys think

 

[dragonking]

netted 2 i think this is a girl well i hope its a girl tell me what u think???

 

[buttss66]

I think you're right. I'm gonna guess boy. Hopefully a few more people will agree!

 

[Kirby]

first looks male,

second, possible male. looks like his phemoral pores just arent pumping the wax. lol.

 

[buttss66]

netted 2 probably girl but not 100% sure

 

[Dragontamer]

First is a male second is a female

 

[dragonking]

kool i hope the 2nd one is female

 

[dragonking]

do you reckon she is big enough to breed this season

 

[Kirby]

how long is she?

Pm shannon plummer, she is a netted expert.

even if she is full size, which your questionable about. she needs to eat more, fill there tummies every day. her fat stores will develope and up her calcium, and natural sun if you do plan to breed.

 

[dragonking]

she is from snout to vent 7cm and all up se is 16cm

 

[Kirby]

i wouldnt think so. adults are 21-25+cm ???

keep them seperated till next season, i wouldnt breed her this season, her size, and its late in the season.

 

[dragonking]

ok thx alot

The females are distinguishably smaller than the males as well. It is easy to tell a pair if they are adults as the males are much larger and way boofier heads.

Cheers

[dragonking]

il show a pic with them both together

 

[micks32]

netted one looks like a male and netted 2 looks female.

great looking dragons mate

 

[coz666]

both males, ones just bigger for the dominance. the females tail should be very thin, and the preanal pores should not be so easy to see.

 

[Shannon]

Dragonking,

I agree with your thoughts. The first is definitely a male. I would summarize that the second is a girl based on the pre-anal & femoral pores being less distinct, the tail clearly does taper more rapidly and her vent width is narrower. Plus the aerial photo indicates heads size that would also suggest a female. The total length you wrote below also strongly suggests a female assuming she's fully grown (> 1yo) and had a good feeding history.

These of course are simply educated guesses based on photos supplied which aren't shot from the same distance to provide exactly comparable images. There is always the chance of a less dominant male not peaking physically due to a dominant male presence and as such can confuse the matter.

I do however, second Kirby's comment that I would not breed this year. She definitely needs more weight as breeding season is a very physically rigorous time. You want her to eat until she's full most days in preparation for breeding with plenty of calcium on all feeds and a multi vitamin once feed per week. It can be quite stressful too, the males can inflict significant wounds to the neck during copulation and if she's a healthy weight and fighting fit she'll cope much better!

It's also a really good idea to buy Shannon's book, click her banner (above) and follow the links. its a really good investment and some really good, and knowledgeable information from someone who truly knows what they are talking about.

it will also answer alot of your Q's, and possibly help you get your dragons healthy, plump and fit for next season.
