Some Species can be extremely difficult to sex until much older. C. vestigium can not be sexed as hatchlings, sometimes not until many months later. Males will show some darkening in gular area, (throat) some orange coloration in neck or sides. But all in all it's usually a waiting game even for the experienced breeder to be able to sex youngsters. *Also C. dickersonae can be harder to sex. |
