determing the sex for some Blotched BT's

[kl]

After seeing Jeff's post about guessing sexes, I figured I'd try it. Forgive me as I stink at photography.

These are four 13 month old Blotchies with 1 pic each. Would anyone like to give an opinion as to what sexes they are. They range from 17 to 19 inches long.

Thanks
KL

I'll get my guesses in before the Aussies tell you the truth!

Male
Female
Male
Female

I have zero experience with blotched, so I wouldn't be surprised if I am wrong on every one, but I wanted to post it so that I didn't forget what I guessed after the experts respond.

[Jeff]

Thanks for posting these pictures by the way. They are looking awesome!

I have no idea but they are too cute!!

[Spindown]

they are all gorgeous, i dont have any idea on how to guess

[El Lobo]

1. Male
2. Female
3. I've gone back and forth on this because the tail isn't visible but will go with female on head shape.
4. Male

can be tricky to sex from pics,especially with those solid alpines,as males also can be solid,even in tail,especially when adult sized with in a year

id also say male female female ,but the 4th pic im undecided,tail looks male,like a lowlands,but head looks rather girly,but saying that,the first one i say male has a fat girly tail,looks to have the solidest tail of the lot of them,but over all has the male shortness look with tanky head,females as a rule appear quite solid,except the head,and have a long body look,

the last pic has the same malle look body length wise so ill take a stab at male also

would be interesting to hear others thoughts on why they chose them as particular sexes,kim what are u leaning towards sex wise,they all look like fantastic specimens to,very nice

[Richard.C]

oh and on another note with the 4th one,males noggins even when grown fast can take a couple of seasons to fill out so to speak

I agree with BTSspartan They are so lovely, I especially love the salmon colours!

I am deleting all of topic posts - please comment if you have anything relevant to add regarding sexing of these blotchies. BTSpartan, if you want to purchase please start a new thread, but also please do some more research. You are asking about very, very rare and expensive blueys and it is unlikely that any will be available for sale.

I love the colors on these guys! I've only seen a handful of Blotchies in person and most of them were around the same age and had the same colors as these. Are these by any chance the brothers/sisters of the ones that Ray has?

[christian]

I'm going to say male female female male...just a guess.

[kl]

Now that I actually know the sexes of these animals, I'll let those who guessed see how accurate you were.

1) female
2) male
3) female
4) female

nice kim,great outcome on sexes,wow ,the male i thought looked the girliest, thin looking head,pics can be decieving though,and males can take a bit for there heads to boof out

out of all the blotchy forms the tanky blue mountains forms,which yours look to be show the least differences between sexes,viewing them in person helps

hows the season shaping up for you

Wow I was right for them all but #4

[StaceyLeigh]

Wow, I must have missed this thread before, Gorgeous Alpine Blotchies, my absolute favorite, after the Northerns! You are very blessed!

[Jeff]

Sweet! I got...1 right!!! I guess I need to get some blotchies so that I can learn how to sex them. Or I guess I could just have Monitorlizard teach me.

[phaemas]

Wow! I've always loved the look of blochies and shingles and such! Shingles always look angery:) Blotchies just look adorable though! Pretty skinkys!
