    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Looks more female at the moment, but the angle of the vent shot does not reveal anything.

Lay the dragon on a table. Lay your camera on the table behind the dragon. lift the dragon's tail, and shoot a picture. That should get a better angle, provided you don't lift the dragon's tail too far.

Or - just lift the tail and look for bulges. A bulge on either side of the base of the tail is a male. A bulge in the middle and none on the sides is a female. Based on the size of your dragon, it should be very obvious.

Hold it up at 90 degrees and not too much farther or the vertebre at the base of the tail can be damaged - It would be easier to see the bulges. It does look like a female, but it'd be easier to see the bulge(s) if the tail was held p
