Genitalia

[HaleyGoBoom]

I was reading the sexing forum before mine, and realized the pictures of the genitalia looked identical to Kurtis'. I'm pretty sure I've seen Kurtis' "parts" when I thought he got scratched, but it all happened so fast I'm beginning to think I made a mistake. I'll post pictures as soon as I can get some. Sorry for making a new thread I didn't want to confuse people :]

**I guess I forgot to ask a question**

Before I get the pics, are all males equipped with outer testicles?
Could he have his cone really close to his anus and still be male?

He's about 4-5 months old

Also, I tried to lift up the sheath and expose the penis but it will not do this.

Males can retract their testicles so you can often not see them, other times they are very apparent! If the cone is very close to the anus then most likely you have a girl and have mis-sexed her. You should be able to do a hair ring check if you have a boy, that would be a sure-fire way to tell . Pics would help!

Why don't you hold him up by the base of the tail and take a picture? That's the best way to really tell.

I tried to do it but he struggles too much and I can't get one that isn't blurry. I'll try again when I'm back at the house. I feel so dumb. The breeder told me he was a male and when I looked I thought it looked like a boy. v_v

I'm going to go take some pics

Can you hold him by the tail? You could hold him upside down by the tail with your left hand and take the pic with your right hand. Or, grab his tail and let him rest on the table and flip his back end up off the table and then take the picture. This might help with him moving so much.
