Minimum 12.5"

First two photos could possibly be females. The last two look more like males. I have been raising this species since 1965 and and breeding them since 1972 and have been fooled by animals close to 11" SCL a couple of times regarding their sexes. The appearances of these four animals' tails and anal scutes could change a fair amount as they approach 11" to 12" in SCL.

How long is a piece of string? They all grow at different rates depending on environment, food, genes, etc

male or female are tend to be the larger in body size?

 

[JoesMum]

Usually the females end up bigger than the males, but I doubt that helps while they're immature

Too small, only guessing which is highly in accurate. Best thing would be wait for males to flash you, but you still have a few inches before that will happen.
