How the heck do you sex babies?

[ConcinusMan]

If you can't get a confirmed baby male to pop then you either aren't doing it right or it's a female.

I do not believe that one bit. I've watched a guy pop one male after the other successfully, and then get a male that just wouldn't pop at all.

As a matter of fact, I highly suspect that my Amy is a male and Don says he pops the babies. Maybe this one wouldn't pop. When I hold her up to bright light I can see that there is something in that region of the tail. I mean, look at this:



I know it's hard because she flat refused to cooperate but every visual indication now that she's grown up some more, indicates male. The tail stays the same size for some distance after the vent. From above you can actually see a very slight bulge after the vent. I'd bet money "she" is a he.
