I found some young U.ebenaui from different bloodlines. I will have them in some weeks and they will have 4 and 5 months.
I searched all the week-end and didn't found anything on how sexing not mature U.ebenaui.
I seen discussed sexing methods, similar to U.phantasticus ... but didn't found real physical dimorphism, and I am a little bit lost!
Thanks in advance for your help!

?? What do you mean by this? Males should show the hemipenal bulge while females won't - at 5 months though I think you may be hard pressed to be able to distinguish them - they don't really drop that early I wouldn't think. You may be able to tell an early male, but I don't think you'll know the females for sure until closer to a year.

Just my thoughts.

It's exactly my problem ... I'm not persuaded to be able to notice the hemipenal bulge, on 5 months old males. So, I would like to find others particularity to help me in sexing each specimen.
By gathering information on others physical dimorphism, I hope to be able to form a group with a good balance!
