Blood spots in skin after shedding???

:wavey:I had a friend ask me whether they could sex their baby corn by seeing 2 blood spots by the vent on the skin after it has shed if it's male and 1 spot if it's female. I've kept corns for over 5 years, read lots of books, spoke to lots of people and have never heard of that method before.......

Anyways, I thought that the thought of blood after shedding couldn't possibly be a good thing. So when one of my corns next shed I had a look and sure enough. in the skin by the vent, there were 2 red spots!!! He was sexed as a male before i got him!

So really i'm wondering;
1) if anybody has ever used this method before?
2) is it very accurate?
3) Why does it happen?

I shall definatly be checking all the others as they have all been sexed so i'm very interested to see the results! :wavey:
 
well i'm glad to hear i'm not the only one! :) I'm very curious to see what it's like on the female?????
 
I've typically noticed the double "blood" spots (it's completely normal and nothing to worry about), but can't say that I've ever noticed a distinction between male and female. Definitely something intriguing and worth paying attention to in the future! :)
