Coleonyx e. elegans photos

[mat.si]

As I promised some time ago, here are some photos of my Coleonyx elegans elegans. Banded and striped.

More to come, as soon as I take photos of last year's babies.

I've selectively bred them for the last 8 years and each new year produces many interesting new pattern variations and more beautiful colors.

Really beautiful animals as always, Matjaz.
I just love C.elegans, they are amazing.

How long time will it take for C.elegans to be sexed?
I need to know because I got 0.0.2 from last year and want to know when they are sexable.

Thanks.

Hi!
With a good eye and a lot of experience, you can usually first sex them at around 3 months of age, when the hemipenile bulges start to appear.
Without that, you could probably do it at about 4 or 5 months of age.
It also depends how well the babies were fed and how big they are at these ages.
