sex of a dragon

I know that you find out the sex of a dragon by looking under it's tail by the vent to see whether it has one bump or two, but I thought I heard somewhere that males usually have a line of little bumps along it's thighs. Is this true for female dragons, too? I'm curious, b/c my dragon just sprouted said bumps along the thighs.

Both Male & female can have femoral pores, the bumps you are speaking of. They are generally more prominent or larger on males, but being larger is only relative when you have something to compare it too & all BDs are different. It is a highly unreliable method of sexing. The most reliable method other than doing an actual probe for the hemipenes & something you should never attempt on your own, is depicted in the vid below ...

Do you get this from anime? If so my boyfriend would love that name seeing as he is really into it. I will definantly run it by him. We were trying to think of mythical or famous names of dragons.

yes its from the anime code geass: lelouch of the rebellion R1/R2 and he is the main guy in it and happens to be a prince so its a wonderful name.

and i am the local expert on dragons so far as the flying ones and fictional ones. i can find some names of them if you wish.

Thanks for that video Germ, very informative.
'Two' penises you explained, lucky little guys :) but when you picked up the female you said 'no balls' - was pun intended there? or is that just the way you put it?

I better go and look at mine, I think a name change might be in order.

No Bulges - not 'No Balls'. By the way that is not me, but a Video on the subject by BloodBank Dragons.
