Sexing Gargs is tough!!

[Terradas]

Nope, no loupe! I've never needed one because my cresties are so easy.

This one is tough because I want it to be male, but I know how rare male gargs are. Even the breeder I bought it from as a juvie thought it was female, but that was back when it was even HARDER to tell!

had that happen with a red harlymale that turned out female, i traded her for a leachie, people that breed ball pythons told me that they get hi end male co-doms and cheaper females in case of problems with breeding you dont loose your hi end reptiles...so i started getting hi end males and cheaper/normal females, i have a super red striped male garg and 3 normal striped females

Hmm, makes sense!

Y'know, I'm wondering if there's an easy test. Do female gargs have those calcium sacks in the roof of their mouth like female cresties??

A few people on the Repashy forum think this one is a female so now I'm back at square one!! Luckily, I don't think I'll have any trouble getting him/her to open its mouth. These guys are a lot moodier and vocal than my cresties!

think both sexes do, i would just wait, if it turns out to be a sex you don't want...people are always looking for a ready to breed adult....so they don't have to do the work raising it

Looks like the consensus is it's a girl. At 21g there just wasn't enough of a bulge or developed pores to call it a male, which there should be at that size according to the repashy forum.

Now I gotta work on finding a male!
