Determining the sex of a baby water dragon is primarily done by examining physical characteristics. Males typically have larger and more pronounced dewlaps (the flap of skin under the throat), a more robust build, and brighter coloration compared to females. Additionally, males often develop more prominent spines along their backs as they mature. However, these distinctions can be subtle in younger specimens, making it easier to identify sex in older juveniles or adults.
