It isn't easy to tell whether hermit crabs are male or female. The only real distinguishing outward feature, the gonopores found on female hermit crabs, are usually hidden by the shell a hermit crab is wearing. If your hermit crab stretches very far out of its shell, though, they may be visible.

First it is nearly impossible to tell the sex of fry. Some maturity is necessary to see the signs of gender indication, in species that have gender indication. For instance you know you have a boy and girl angelfish only when you see hatched fry. Other than that, angels can be very difficult to tell. In general the following can be used as markers in helping determine gender. However, as with the English language, for every rule, there are exceptions. See similar questions...

There is no difference in appearance, between males and females. About the only sure way to tell the sex of a squirrel is to turn it over and look. Index See similar questions...

The males are usually larger and may be more aggressive. Females, being of a smaller stature, may be more ideally suited as a house companion. Males tend to be more outgoing, and more forgiving of mistakes in training. Females tend to be less dominant and work well with children - however, many females may actually be more protective of their households than males. Nevertheless, generalities do not always apply, and it is best to ask the breeder for their advice. See similar questions...

Chickens: There are several "theories" but one I have found to be the most accurate....is using a nail, needle or ring, fastened to a 6-8 inch piece of sewing thread. Hold the string with the nail swinging freely above the chick. The string will swing in a circle if it is a female and back and forth if it is a male. You can try this over people's wrists. It is fun and makes for very interesting conversation. I do not know why it works but we have found it to be very accurate. See similar questions...

Sulcata Station's response: It is very difficult to determine the sex of a sulcata that is less than 10 to 15 pounds, or less than 12 inches in shell length. In fact, most sulcata owners *don't* know what sex their tortoise is until they witness it laying eggs, or everting its penis, or attempting to mount other tortoises. See similar questions...

For the most part, this is very simple. When they are young, or not completely mature, it is more difficult. The majority of the time, females will be short finned. They will also have an ovipositor between their ventral & anal fins. This looks like a small, white bump. They develop this when they are mature enough to breed. Males will normally have long, flowing fins. They are the typical picture that comes to mind when someone mentions a betta. See similar questions...

If you hope to show or breed, you want a dog of excellent quality. Study the most recent (1987) STANDARD, a description of the ideal Tibetan approved by both the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Tibetan Terrier Club of America. Try to see several Tibetans and compare them to the Standard and to each other before you purchase one. Do be fair to the breed and the breeder and tell him what you expect of your dog.
