australian water dragon sexing

[tracynchris]

I brought this ozzy as female at the beginning of the year and is currently living with another ozzy who is definately male , as time has gone on it is increasingly looking male , colouration , underside going from salmon pink to darker almost red , general colour of body markings , can anyone tell by these pics if my suspicions are right and as they get older are they likely to still get on , especially if i do introduce a female

[pymn nice but dim]

whey finally some one keeping them too so rare i didnt think barly any one did untill the crests become more dominant i guess the only way is to check by the cloacal opening for bulges verys similar to beardies and chinese water dragons

look at the under side of the back legs and the pores on the positive male will be raised and then compare. the other one cert looks like a young male.
also has there been any behavior diffs between the two as a male will give big bobs and a female shorter and faster a female will also arm wave.
any chasing due to mating.etc..
and if you introduce a female and they are both male it will be not good if they are both male you will need to seperate soon as they will get territorial towards each other without a female present.
nice looking awd's by the way.

firstly.... stunning aussies you have
secondly... i have the same dilema, i bought 2 "females" but one has a pink belly,and is darker and has a bigger crest than the other the other, i have taken them to pet shops to be sexed and they say looks like a male and female, but blaptica on here says deffo 2 females... so still confused....

i bought a deffo male last month and they all get on, no aggression so i may have 2 females, they all bob and the females wave too... hope you find out soon keep us informed....
