Gender of my Sheldon.

[DaisyDuke]

I have a side picture as well. I tried to get a picture of his tail but he almost always has it tucked to the side. He is 6 inches so I understand he is still young but wanted opinions on what you guys think his gender may be? Also how old he might be? Thanks

I would say female but it is just a guess let see what every one else think's

 

[jackrat]

I'm saying male.

I think it's a female because its belly is flat.

 

[DaisyDuke]

His/her belly is slightly "dipped" in. You can see it in the side picture. I tried to get a better picture but the lighting isn't great here, sorry:/

Looks like a female to me.

I'm going female as well. The tail is rather small, there is no visible concavity in the plastron, and the gaps between the anal scutes and the marginals are rather tight.

The angle of the anal scutes opening is rather wide, and the gaps are a bit iffy, it might maybe develop more male characteristics but at that size, I'll bet female.

Thank you everybody. I am still calling her Sheldon Though getting out of the habit of calling her "Mr Sheldedere", might be hard

I will also go with the vote of female. You can call her Shelly LOL
