Possible hemipene?

Postby Dakota » Sat Mar 30, 2013 8:41 pm

I was watching my Merauke poop ( :hurl: )..and I seen something sticking out.. it looks pointy, but couldn't make anything out of it, since her tail shaded over.. I was thinking maybe the bend of her cloaca scale? I don't know.. after my last thread, hoping I have both females. :heated:

Next time, I will have my flashlight handy. :thumbs:

Are undeveloped hemipenes (..as in not sexually mature) pointy? It looks white, from what I seen.

Not a hemipene if it was white...they can be huge and they are bright pink or red. Trust me, you will KNOW when you have been flashed!! :D

Think giant, red butt-wings. They're not subtle at all.

Will they still be huge, even though he isn't sexually mature?

I believe they're born with the hemipenes at full size, just like everything else. I can't be sure however, so no guarantees.
