Is it a Pair?

Well, my first 2 sulcatas that I got almost 3 years ago are starting to show signs of their gender...I think. I just wonder if anyone else might think they're a pair.

They both look like females to me right now. Tongue They need to be about 8 to 10 inches SCL to be more positive. Big Grin

Thanks everyone. Yes, a few more years and a couple more inches is needed but I thought maybe there was a difference that a wild guess may be made. I'll report back in 2011 Smile
