    #2, nice taper from the cloaca down the tail.
    The second and third photo shows that taper.
    Just calling it the way I see it. I've got a 50-50 chance being right or wrong.

    Haha.

    With babies I normally see the males with a lightly tapered tail and they're easily mistaken for females, but since they are babies, they don't have large noticeable hemipenes. But, if #2 is a female, all of my babies are females...

    Randi, you'd be inbreeding if you bred them together. That can cause a lot of problems with their healthy and cause a lot of deformities.

    Re: Diamond....

    It was said on other of these threads that it would be ok for a bit but not on and on. but i guess since I have 3 females that it shouldnt cause any problems. Maybe I was reading the posts wrong in the other threads but iI swear it said it was ok. But if it is not then I wont but I still want a male to breed with them......Anyone want to send me a male Eastern that looks differently then them that they can be together now and have no problems.

    It's done but if it doesn't have to be done then it shouldn't be.
    Be patience and wait for a different male.
    Just my opinion.

    Don't inbreed. I've read about how much that affects them, and it's never good.
