New Guinea Legless Lizards...sexing?

Posted by Tenor Goddess on February 04, 2003 at 23:06:17:

Greetings!
I have a New Guinea Legless Lizard via a friend at a local pet shop. We had a time trying to identify just what species he/she was until recently (we KNEW it had to be a lialis of some kind! heheh). The scientific name is Lialis jicari.
Does anyone know how to sex these? I would most definitely like to know if mine is male or female and also that way I could sex the new one they just got in. :)
I have never seen these as captive bred and the only two I've ever seen in stores (this is a first for Texas) are imports...mine has the scars to prove it, as does the new one.

Hope someone can help!
