Female. Where is the spur from her tail?

Hi, I have no idea . I did wonder myself. They are two Hermanns the bottom one has her spur. Any ideas? What's happened . Are they both girls?

It must be the angle of the pic. Are they shop torts? They can lose bits and pieces in transit unfortunately if so. Both look female so far to me.

No they are not from a shop. I've had them 3 1/2 years now. They both had spurs when I had them as hatchlings. About 9 months ago I noticed it

Oh that is odd then. They must have been arguing lol

Does anybody else know of any hermanns without a spur. Silly question but will it make a difference?

I can't see it making a difference, any more than losing a nail from the foot. Not sure if it will grow back or not though.
