Opal is 2 today(ish) and weighs in at 359g. I think s/he is looking male because of tail length, cloacal shape and position. I know that full determination can’t be made until sexual maturity but did I hear correctly that they all look female until they don’t? There have been no flashes of boy parts. I’ve seen other people’s photos on here; that is nightmare inducing.
Anyways, do you think it is still too early to tell?
