I picked up this "female" at white plains, but just wanted to make sure it was female. I believe these guys have pores whether guys or girls, but are waxier and more prevalent in males (like tokays).

Hey,

Looking very female, what I don't see are the very obvious "two bulges at the base of the tail" found in males, quite similar to Leo's and Fattie's.

I have worked with these in the past and males show pores very early. I see a pore line at the base it looks like at least I would say male.

100% and with guarantee: male!

Both Dragonslare and Ted T-Rexx are currently breeding this species and have fertile eggs, so I'd trust what either of these guys would say on the sexing.

Well,

I do breed them as well.... since quite some time.
And sorry: In this case, male sex is pretty obvious.
But for non believers I enhanced the pic posted by ento890:

Do you believe me now?


Kind regards

No I dont, my females have faint pores lines as well, even have been fooled by a couple of young Leo's, Halmahera males get very obvious bulge sacs at the base of the tail,mine started to show at 6 mos. and by the time he was 7 mos,really male, I checked my photos and none show this clearly so tonight when my Halmaheras come out i'll take some closeup pics, mine came from a wholesaler, their WC's and will not let me handle them. judging by the size of the Halmahera I'd say its an adult,if it was a male the sacs would be bulging out big time.
