can you show a wider angle on the anal scutes to see the entire tail.

also can you show the plastron?

how many inches is it?

thank you

Male. Still kind of small to be 100%, but there is definite plastron concavity in pic number 3 and the anal scutes are a pretty wide V. Can't see enough of the tail AND it may be too early to tell from the tail anyway.

Do we have someone at the chalk board tallying votes? I think male, but with others agree it may be too early to tell.....

My vote is for "male." Seems like sulcatas are always just looking for a reason to go male, so unless every indication is female (which in this case, it's not), it's a male.
