Hey this is Rocky I've had her about 6 years now, always been told she was a girl but thought I'd just post a few pics to comfirm this as her tale is pretty long and does hang to one side.
Thanks

And this is her

i would say female, the anal scute is more of an open U shape rather than the typical male V
im sure some1 will be able to give u a more definitive answer tho

Id say male do to the size and shape of the tail

I have a female russian with similar carapace growth (showing a large area of rear end) This can make the tail appear to be larger than it is. Not sure with this one TBH - shall I send Zippah along to make sure <g>?
