Sexing 4.5 incher

Ok, I'm thinking Girl? Anyone agree? Disagree? or is it still too soon to tell?
Squirts underside & tail shot



Ok its official she has a nasal discharge (I can see the droplet) and I can only find one open nostril


I have had her just over a month now and she is starting to wheeze. So I will have to get her to a vet before too long. She is pretty pyramided for one so young but hopefully she will not get any worse. And I will be able to find her a nice home.

RE: Sexing 4.5 incher

Thanks Kelly and Danny, I thought it a She and I know she needs a vet but but of course you make discoveries during holidays. So It looks like I will have HER Smile to the vet on Tuesday afternoon when he reopens. She is so very shy. I have her in my computer room and I spend time just talking with her and when I give her a soak I just hold her sitting on my chest and talk softly to her until her head comes out. I just can't imagine what her little life must have been like before.
It will be hard to give her up when the time comes.

RE: Sexing 4.5 incher

robyn, let me know when she is ready to go. I am not sure what I am doing yet, but I have 2 males and 1 female and was thinking of getting a new home for one of my males but I told my hubby that I didn't think I could have one go because I just love them. He said "We'll just have to put him in a separate enclosure and get him a girlfriend". So, I am thinking about it.

Thanks Dee You will be the first to know.
I took her to the vet yesterday-surprise he was open. She is now on baytril and B12 shots so I will get her cleared up and feeling good. Dee where do you live again?

RE: Sexing 4.5 incher

So Dee you have time to think. I couldn't ship her until about April.

RE: Sexing 4.5 incher

Sounds great Robyn. I have had my outdoor enclosure designs scrambling around in my brain. Can't wait till the weather breaks so I can get started. Hopefully I can figure out a nice way to make 2 nice sized enclosures without making my yard look junky. I have to also make 1 small enclosure for my russians but that's not a big deal. I think she would do well with my smaller guy. He's so sweet. If I got her, would I have to quarantine again since you already have her quarantined?

Yes and no Dee. She should be quarantined for 6 months after she is free of symptoms and as long as she doesn't get any from shipping that would make it middle of June.
