I am no good at this game. The tail looks kind of male, but the plastron is so flat? Might be to small to know for sure. I am interested to see the answers you get from the experts.

You have a…… wait for it………..


JUVENILE!

Its definitely going to be either a male or a female once it matures. I'm sure of it.

LOL. I have a leopard that could just be a hermaphrodite.
I'm agreeing with Tom on yours. Looks female to me now. But that's the same size, maybe a little smaller then mine was and it looked and was guessed by most as a female. It is very slowly looking more male, with female looking tail scutes or what ever they are called.

The title of this thread just sounds kinda wrong. :D

He-he! I thought so too! But, anyways, I think it's a female. It'd be easier to tell if her/his tail were fully extended... maybe take a picture when he/she is soaking in water? :)
