I would think that he is a young male

thanks tons

pleased we wont have to change his name, how can you tell? Is it just the length of his tail?

i think tail for it size is a little bit long to be a girl. Others may feel different but wait and see first.

There is a post, from EgyptianDan I think, somewhere on here (I've looked and I can't find it now) and he said that if there's a indent from the femoral to the anal scutes, as Alfred has, then this is most likely a male, in females there would be a smooth transition between the scutes.

My 2 are definitely a boy and a girl and they did / do match this description, but being a lot older now, there's a big difference in the size of their tails too now - although my female has always had a very short tail even when she was small.

So, I'm guessing Alfred is a little boy too.
