    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Hi Kelli....boy, from those pics it's tough. If you could arch the tails back just a bit more, or arch them and turn them ever so slightly to one side [ very gently ] that might help.
 
The second one is definately female. The vent size is small. The top one looks female too, but not 100% sure.

Here are some more photos. I am so frustrated not knowing how to sex these guys. They are adult or near adult sized!

I'm thinking I was correct and first one is a female and second is male. What do you guys think; did the new pics make it easier to tell?
 
Thanks Josh, I posted before reading your post. I'll get the hang of this beardie thing in no time!
 
I agree that the bottom one looks male. Viewing from different angles will usually clear things up, and a wee little twist to the side, the way you did in the bottom pic, can help.
