Thumbs up How to sex them

Hello everyone,

I bought 5 African Fat Tails when they where small, now I'm not sure how to sex them. I have no problem sexing leopard geckos, but it seams that all AFT have protuberant hemipenal bulges.

Any suggestions other than checking their neck size?

They are all about 50g and I can't wait to start breeding them!!

Thank you so much for your help!

Ronald

Sexing fat tails is the same as sexing leos. Only males have hemipenal bulges. Post some pics of them if you need more help.

Good luck

Female fat tails can have bulges equal to those of the males, so I suggest you look for the pre-anal pores (similar to leos). Those are much more reliable than the "bulge method" when trying to sex the AFT's.

I guess they could have bulges, I have just never seen them on any of my females. Paul is right.....the pores are way more reliable.
