Sexually Mature help please? :)

[LlamaPanda92]

Im new to axies and I have just discovered that the tips of their fingers go dark once theyre sexually mature. Is this the case with my Axie?

Also is anybody able to see if its a boy or a girl? Ive read/seen pictures on how to tell the difference but for some reason cant actually tell myself what mine is -.-

(Please see attachments for photos )
(I hope they work)

How old is your axie? Sometimes you can't really tell until they are anywhere from 6 months and up. Sometimes closer to a year even.

From the look of your picture I would say girl, but again that can change if she is young Check out this link too.

I agree with Mekkha, my axie is 2 years and I have only just really discovered it's true gender! It does have little black toes as well.

Is that gravel in your tank? If so, can I just suggest changing it to sand, as the axie's can eat it and it causes an impaction.

But your axie's are veerry cute! Lovely! :happy:

My boy looked the same as the girls until the very week he left "presents" in the tank. He was just over a year then, I think - or very close to 1 year anyway.

But, I agree with Scooty - another vote for removing that evil gravel before it's too late + won't matter whether this lovely axie was a boy or a girl

Mekkha thanks for posting that link by the way, it has now definitely confirmed my axolotl is a male. Back to the drawing board for thinking of a name then! Can't carry on calling him 'Miss Thing' for the rest of his life
