Oops sorry, dident get a notification from this thread. "His" name is LizLiz, when I got him I had no idea of his sex and it has just kind of stuck! As he has gotten bigger I am pretty sure he is a Male. I love the hell out of that little bugger though, he gives me endless hours of entertainment with all of his shenanigans!20200214_161420.jpg20191228_005758.jpg20191102_021702.jpg

Awww what a plum!! He looks very happy. Do you know how to tell sex?
You know the two little patches of scales that stick out on each side under the vent? If you rub the wrong way on them a Male's will snag on you finger and a female's will not. They need to be a adult to tell though. They are awesome little guys always getting into something lol the tripoding is just too cute . This is my first one I love him to soo much!!
 
Really like the look of these. What is the max size they are likely to reach? Different sites I've looked on say different things.

Lol. I dont use anything, I just fill the tub with a couple inches of hot water and lightly use a plastic scrub brush to get off all the dirt and gunk. I am using organic potting soil and pool filter sand as his substrate so he gets dirty and starts smelling musty in short order. So he gets a bath twice a week or so to keep his charming appearance!

Gotcha use a mix of dry eco earth repti bark and sphagnum moss so Abraxos normally smells pretty good. He gets his face wiped after pretty much every meal too of he makes a mess.
