#2276452 Metallisch View Profile	Male or female albig? http://imgur.com/a/1MDvc The pictures don’t clearly show, but he does have a pair of bulges under the tail base, perhaps the size of two small to medium marbles. I’ll attempt to photo it tonight. His appetite, specifically his willingness to tong feed had greatly diminished this week and crocdoc thinks he may be female. He is very seldom interested in burrowing and I somehow think it’s my fault. Two feet of moist, peaty sandy soil..but he doesn’t touch it. he doesn’t seem nervous of me any more than usual, he will come check me out or go about his business when I open the enclosure. I’m also not sure whether he should be more active? He motors around with long periods of laying down, either basking or not. Basking temp is 145 and 155, ambient is 82-100 depending on location. I also suspect he’s pooping on his water, but i’m not even sure.
