My Northern BTS

Postby megand91 » Thu Apr 02, 2015 8:03 pm

This is my buddy Oliver. He(?) is a year and a half years old, give or take. An absolute joy and wonderful addition to the family, with a fantastic personality.
I know the picture on my lap isn't the best...but any guesses to the sex???

Honestly its next to impossible to tell from pictures, usually there are slight difference like generally males have a broader head but then you have some males that have thin heads and females that have broad heads, the only way to know really is for a slug/sperm plug to drop if you tried to mate it with another.

We do have several members here who are quite good at guessing the sex of Northerns, Richard being one of them, from decades of breeding them.
Breeder and keeper of Meraukes from 2010 to 2022.
