Hello- how is everyone doing? I have a ~4 year old hermanni and was wondering if it’s finally possible to tell the sex. I’ll post a few pics. Let me know what you think of it. I’ve kept it in a closed chamber for humidity and I think it’s growing nicely. Opinions welcomed. 67442A01-46C1-4F1B-ADDE-F4176169A38D.jpeg373E8BE4-CFA6-4603-A56E-2A4E980DEEC8.jpegF9728C54-4AFA-44B1-BC76-79B7F0534A6D.jpegB1408C6B-1FD9-4746-A3F2-3989FF956291.jpeg14F349CD-7529-48FC-B232-51EF1982FC69.jpeg0C43F192-189E-49B2-97B0-15E7A679AE68.jpeg

Right now it looks like a little girl tail, however, it's too small yet to know for sure.

Thanks @Yvonne G. In your expert experience, does it look like it’s a normal growth for a 4 year old. Should he/she be bigger or is it about right? I’ve been trying to get smooth shell growth.

By the way, he weights 340grams (just weighed him). Is his weight consistent with a 4 year old Hermann’s on average?
