Another guess the sex

[Cherbear]

My little guy or gal is coming up on a year soon and I know it's still too early, but are there any guesses? I just hate not knowing and saying him or her all the time.

 

[Fernando]

I say male

 

[Neal]

Male

I'm going to say male as well, but that could change.

 

[coreyc]

I'm in for male to

 

[jeffbens0n]

Male is my guess as well.

 

[Cherbear]

Thanks for the guesses. Well I guess when I talk about him I'll say "he" for now. Now when it comes to leopards, which sex gets larger, male or female?

 

[jeffbens0n]

Females will be larger.

 

[Neal]

Females usually are larger.

Why is everyone guessing male? Just curious.

 

[Fernando]

For me I was looking at the angle of the anal scutes. They look like they are facing in an outward direction. Also even though it's way too early to tell, I think they tail is pretty big. But again, too early to know for sure.

I did not guess, I claimed he is male!!

Just kidding, it's the anal scutes that did it for me. The tale looks like it could go either way, but I think that's a less indicative factor when they're at this stage.

Cherbear, I snooped through your posts to see if you had a picture of the top of this guy, but didn't see anything. Can you show us a picture?

Anal scutes look male to me...

My 10 year old son says the anal scutes point out, the tail looks kinda long and is not bumpy...male.

I say good job son. I agree.

 

[Cherbear]

Neal, do you mean the top of his "butt area" or just an overall top shot. Either way I'll take some more and post them in just a little while.

 

[Neal]

Shell, just interested in what he looks like. Can't get enough of those leopards.

 

[Cherbear]

He wasn't too happy about the pictures, he kept running from me. I did finally get a nice one of him in the first picture.

 

[Neal]

Very nice lookin'!

 

[yagyujubei]

Wow, he's huge. His pattern is really starting to show. What about vital statistics. Length & weight.

 

[Fernando]

The growth is coming in nicely
