How to sex Boesemani?

[twig]

I'm just curious as to how you can sex them when they are less than a year old?

I picked up a pair today and they are both males =(

One of them likes to show the other he's boss...

I want to make sure my next pair are females ...

I thought maybe I could go by the black stripes going across their belly .. one had two that were very dark and prominent while the other is very hard to see...

How do you tell the sex when thay are old?

i think females don't have as big a neck as males...

Males have the blue and yellow coloration, females are more of a yellow- gray colour all over.

the problem being that when they are so young they dont have much colour.
