 Is there an easy and safe way to sex BTS?

I have had a BTS for about 2 or so years and would like to know how I can find out if it’s male or female. If I take pics of the under side of him/her would someone be able to tell me? I was thinking about find a mate for him/her. Here is a recent picture of him.

It’s almost impossible to sex BTS. I was lucky and my BTS layed some sperm plugs. I have a male. No, you can not tell the sex from the BTS under side. If I were you, I’d take him to the vet (a reptile vet) and ask the doctoer to see what sex he is.

Hope I helped.

No, no no. You can never ever house a bts with another bts. Only when breeding them. They (yes even females) will fight and possibly kill each other. Never ever house any bts together!!
