I think its a female but im not sure either because it's tail is to the side which sometimes indicates its a male. We will have to wait for Danny to come across this post to be sure. But it is a very pretty Sulcata whats her name and how old is she?

I'm thinking male. The gular scutes look fairly large, plus the anal scutes point outward.

It looks like you can continue to call him Max...as in Maxwell or Maximilian, not Maxine!

I concur. Male. Most of them are. Females are pretty scarce.
