Default Tokay Sexing help: Female?



What do you guys think?
This one is still young/small, but I was hoping for a male, heh. I do see pores, but they are tiny.

Looks female to me (the pores are small and there's no waxy secretions from the pores). However, it's young/small, that could change still.

There's a saying, "They all look female until they're not"...meaning, until they're actually mature enough to sex, they're always going to look like girls.

Do immature males have spiny growths on each side of the tail or is this feature common to both sexes?

That's a girl. The pores don't extend far enough to be male.

About my tokays: they were sold to me as an immature pair. None of them have bulges, both have rows of pores. The biggest one is about 10-11 inches full length, it is supposed to be the female. The smaller one is 9 inches or so, has more visible pores and scaly, spiny growths on each side of the tail. So do I have a pair for sure?

I'm goin with Morgan, that's going to stay female. The other tokay in question is male as far as I can tell.

Thor: yes that is a young male. You can actually see the difference between the ops picture and yours. The pores on this male extend farther and you can see the wax that will eventually start to grow out.
