Monthly weight check for Agbienna today:
5 lbs, 1.1 oz. Also 9 1/2 inches long, about 7 inches wide.
Although I haven't seen anything, and I'm definitely not an expert, I'm thinking we have a male. Time will tell I suppose.IMG_3234.JPG

I still think girl. Ink's tale was a lot longer. Maybe you'll know for sure if she lays eggs. ? Her and ink would make beautiful babies...

Still doing very well. From when her first owner got her, this month would make her 4 years old. She weighed 7 lbs, 11.2 oz and was 11 inches long on Monday. I’m thinking I might actually have a girl. Any thoughts?

A day late, but it's been 2 years yesterday since we gave AgbiƐnaa a home. Still doing great, eating like a pig and growing. She’s about 4 1/2 years old now. I love her little heart on the front scute❤️.58A07B01-8950-45C9-A32C-393100A6DF58.jpeg

You could be right about being a male. The tail is going to the one side....I hope you never see his stuff.

Oh ok! I’m still like 🤷‍♀️. Has a very stubby tail, but the shape of the anal scute doesn’t look like a female to me.

Ink flashed the Vet when he had his beak trimmed. That's how I found out several years ago 🤣.
