I've looked at diagrams and read threads here but I'm posting just for some clarification. My cherry head just turned 2 years old today, as far as my understanding goes, I believe it's it's female. Please reply and let me know what you think.

Looks female, but they all do at first. May need to get a bit bigger for certainty.

I let the red foot experts give you a definitive answer.

How much longer? I thought two years was pretty standard for being able to sex them...

I reckon at 7 to 8" SCL (straight carapace length) is where you may have a chance to tell the sex for sure. I have one at 7" that's obviously a male, however I think his shell growth was stunted due to bad care. But defo at 8" I could tell the sexes of mine.
How big is this guy?
