If you are seeing male genitalia it is a male. Plastron concavity is variable and sometimes it doesn't become obvious until later on. My Bert didn't show any concavity until he was around 9. By ten or eleven you should be seeing some concavity, but stranger things have happened. There will only be concavity toward the rear of the plastron, not the whole thing. Can you post a pic? Take it from an angle, rather than straight on, so we can see it better.


BTW, Hello and welcome to the forum.
