Tim/Robin said:Here is a picture of our juvenile Pancake. She measures 4.5 inches SCL, today. I hope this helps for your comparison. Sorry, but it appears you were sold a male. Our adults are nearly 8 inches SCL, so I think you will find that his tail will only get longer and wider. Look closely at the difference in width, length, and location of the cloaca.
I have no idea what you paid, but I remember your want ad stating you wanted a female for $200 shipped. A cb subadult of 5 inches typically runs over $400 for a female. LTC adults will run nearly $500 or more each. Recent imported adults are available for less.
