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.

It's totally possible if you know what you are doing! I am able to sex mine very early, but you need good eyes, good lighting, and a knowlege of what to look for. And males will always be easier to tell for sure at a young age...
Start by holding the dragon in one hand, with it's tail pointed towards you. While holding the dragon in one hand, lift the tail at a 90* angle straight up. Apply slight pressure to the back of the tail as you pull up and back VERY gently. A male's hemipenes will look like small, thin tendons on either side above the vent. A female will appear flat, or she will have a slight bump right above the middle of the vent. Srong lighting from above will help you to see the differences. It is not totally fool-proof, but generally very accurate!
I hope this helps!

Great description Jamie. All it takes is learning to identify what you're looking at.

Thanks everyone I checked and I actually can tell a difference the boys have more of an indent in the middle with the slight humps on either side and the girls are mostly flat with a slight bulge right at the vent
