« on: April 08, 2013, 06:23:30 PM »
I bought a couple frontosa I was woundering how to sex them because I am going to start breeding them hopefully.also I was woundering how much like a 2-4 or 4-8 inch one would be worth because I plan to sell some of the offspring

It would depend on the type and quality.  Also demand for specific type at the time.

This isnt really the place to ask maybe posting in general discussion will get you better results.

IMO the most accurate way would be to vent them. Sometimes the size/body-profile can also key you in on which are males and which are females. I have 7 7-stripes that are 4"-8"+, and can say a few are males for certain, and a couple are females, but the remainder I'm still not sure of.

What variant did you get?

Exactly how many did you get and what type?
