Well, my 14 month-old temp-sexed female Hermann’s is suddenly sprouting quite a tail . . . I guess only time will tell, but for now, perhaps “she” should be referred to as “he” (Ignore the little Mazuri mustache)!

Hmmm, may be. Will be interesting to know for sure now.
Got some time to wait though. I hate the waiting. Maybe if it's a he, he will flash you sooner then later.

Thx. Agree, it’s a long wait . . . shared pix because i was stunned at how the tail growth suddenly turbo-charged over last 2 weeks, but maybe his/her legs or shell will go through the same spurt next and the proportions will look female again . . .

. . . Nope—it’s a boy, going through a bit of a precocious puberty at age 19 mos.
