Hi there!
I took my little Reggie to the vet today, and the vet said he thinks he is a she, because his plastron is very flat; he said himself that indicators vary species to species, and everyone there asked if he was a Russian, so it's not like they're Hermann's "experts," just a local exotic vet.
I assumed he was a he because his tail does seem longer like in other comparison photos I google. It doesn't matter either way, but I was curious whether Hermanns can be commonly sexed by checking the plastron for a concave?
For history, I've had Reggie since July, he's growing great and is about 11.4cm in length, unsure about age.
Thanks!
Pic for attention, but I don't wanna bother him again with getting tail pics 🤪 he's been bothered enough today!
