Either a molt or ventral sexing is the only way to identify sex....unless you have had it for 8 years or so. Then maybe you could assume it maybe a female. Males mature around 5-7 years. Mine matured at 6 years....my female is 9 years old.[ATTACH=full]51348[/ATTACH]Immature male[ATTACH=full]51345[/ATTACH]Mature Female [ATTACH=full]51346[/ATTACH]Mature male....same male as first photo.[ATTACH=full]51347[/ATTACH]Both female and mature male.</blockquote>
