Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Can anyone tell what sex they are?
Ok I finally got a couple pictures of Abbott and Costello. I'm not sure if they are good enough for someone to tell what they are. But I think my little boys are little girls. Guess they don't really care what their name is though.lol.
If these are not good enough please give suggestions on how to get better pictures. I was afraid I would hurt them...
Thanks
Alexa

The first picture is of Costello...the bigger of the two and the one that seems to be getting a bit aggressive...right now he just head butts and Abbott just waves. But the majority of the time they still get along. I watch them all the time and keep them seperate when i'm not there just to be sure.

what do you mean by "head butts?" If he is bobbing his head and she is waving, most likely you have a pair....

Just because one bobs its head does not instantly make it a male. Based on the pics I would guess both female right now, but based by age, you still can't be sure. There are such things as aggressive females. But even still one will establish dominance over the other regardless of gender. And the other will submit. I even have a group of females, and yes I am certain they are, who go around and mock breed one another. There are just certain hierarchies that must be established in any group. And even tho one looks and acts normal, does not mean the stress from being subordinate is not affecting them. Or vice versa. Hormones are doing crazy things now and if it were me seeing these behaviors, I would separate them. Even for the fact that alone each one would have a better growth rate without the added stress of competition. Even if they have their own furnishings and bowls there is still competition, glances, and just general presence of another that will stress them out. But that is just my opinion and experience.

They don't bob their heads....Costello just kind of runs at Abbott and butts him with his head. They are now close to 8 months old. I do separate them when I can't be around to watch them...but when I'm there they are together most the time. And most the time get along. I really think they are both female the seem to look the same on the underside. I only have a 20 gal. tank at the moment to put the other in and hate to keep one in there all the time. I'll Get a much bigger one like the one they are in at the next reptile show. But I don't leave them together when I'm not home or not around. They are in the same room with me and I have an in home office so I keep a very close eye on them and I defiantly don't want breeding.They are litter mates and I don't want babies...heaven knows there are enough what I call backyard breeders out there.
Thanks so much for everyones help.
