Sexing my fire bellied newts

[dipsydoodle]

Ok after seeing 179shaz179's post about sexing newt and the responses I'm now doubting my identification of my newts. Can anyone help please...

I don't know how to add photos.

This is Tiny (I am aware that he/she is skinny, I rescued him/her like that and I am feedig him/her up)

The next photos are of Isaac...

I have no photos from under, however I thought male and female had different tail shapes and you can semi-see under the tail.

Both newts have slightly different shaped tails...

I have a good underside photo of Isaac on my phone which I can load up if no one can help.

Thank you :happy:

Have a go at these articles. They will help you in your endeavor. (in addition to the input from others)


I am by no means an expert sexing this species, however here is my opinion:

"Tiny" looks like a male to me.

As for "Isaac" I am unsure of without a clear shot of the venter in addition to the tail shots.

That is fine thank you, I do think Tiny is a male also. I also think Isaac is a male as well; although I'll post a photo from my phone when I can of his tail shot.
