The skin on her back comes off in one long strip. Seems as though the ones on her belly explode and spray all over the terrarium. This shed was great. I only had to clean off the tip of the tail and two toes. After taking the pictures and reviewing I wondered if I was seeing a bulge that might indicate a boy. :shock: I know the dropping of sperm plugs is the only sure sign and Tattoo is young (born 6/04/07). I am sticking with "she" till I have proof positive. I know time will tell.

The popping out of the organs is a sure sign too! You won't see sperm plugs this early; it's highly unlikely anyway. Watch for the hemipenis!

I didn't realize how neat looking your baby is....he's really different! Is he from Andrew?

Zach ... kinda gross but ... I pretty much have a birds eye view of each potty break as we are on a schedule and it happens in the living room. I am watching intently :bugeyes: but have seen nothing yet. Thanks for the input. :)
