i know my sulcata is probably too young to be sure what "his" sex is, but thought it'd be interesting to get a few guesses going. i'm hoping it's a boy, so i don't have to change louis to lois. couldn't get him to hold his leg still either so they're a bit blurry. "he's" approx. 18 mo.

Looks female to me, but they all look female when they're young. It may just be too early to tell.

Lois is a girl for my guess. Small tail and the v shape tail scutes. Boys have longer tails and more rounded/flared tail scutes. My guess:D Sorry, I couldn't say boy.
