exactly if it's a baby it will be impossible to tell.
Take 2 babies ;)

You won't be able to tell with babies, and even if they say temp sexed for female, there is no guarantee, just a better chance of it.

Sadly everyone here is right. I have 4, 3 female 1 Male. It was suppose to be 2/2. But you can barely tell; even at Ten Inches of Growth... My girls were 11 inches before they were sexed. My male, I'm still not 100% since he hasn't mounted anyone & is a sweetheart. Go fig... Xo

If you have 3 girls and 1 boy, that's better and safer then if it was 2 and 2.
