Here are some pics I took in 2002 to show how shingles can be sexed.

Thank you for sharing! If anyone has good pictures to share of sexed shingles or any comments regarding experiences with this method please comment and help make this a good learning resource.

Please do not try this method if you are unsure of how to do it correctly or what you are looking for. This should be attempted by experienced keepers only.

Thanks for the informative pics Katrina. I wonder if this applies to other species of BTS as well.

Thanks JR - this information was posted by Pipa, it isn't mine. It was originally posted in this thread:
http://bluetongueskinks.net/forum/viewt ... sc&start=0

Pipa mentions in that thread that it would work with other species as well. :)
