Is Zuul a ladylotl or a gentlemanlotl?

[mirimurray]

I am leaning toward it being a male, but I'm not sure!

Looks like a female to me. It still looks quite young, so keep an eye on it as it may change. Makes usually have quite large lumps that really stand out.

 

[mirimurray]

Yes, (s)he is still pretty young! I've only had him/her for 2 months and (s)he has been growing like crazy! Thanks for the input

How old is your axie? You can't really tell until they are 9 month or 7-8 inches.

 

[mirimurray]

I'm not sure how old Zuul is - I have had it for about 2 months and it is probably 4-5 inches long now.

 

[auntiejude]

In that case it's too small and young to sex accurately.

There's a very easy way to sex it. Is Zuul a girl's name or a boy's name? That'll tell you.

Really depends. I just rehomed my last four, at around 8.5 months, and two are obviously boys (especially based on their mating dance as soon as they were put together!): http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...g/99127-axolotl-breeding-behaviour-video.html

I was able to tell the Wildtype was a boy almost 3 months ago. He's been over 8" since a while ago, now pushing past 9.5". Now the golden, his "man bump" appeared really suddenly, where there was no denying that he's a boy about a month ago.

The other two I assume are girls, almost no bump.
