Hello and welcome to SW, I am going to say male, the tail is big in proportion to the tort when viewed from the rear, it also seems to turn out instead of tucking under, some to do that it is a slight deformity

Well the nail on the end of the tail is to small and there is no tail after the cloaca. Even if deformed the tail after the cloaca isn't long enough to be a male. It also has a nail so the tail can't have been lost. Just pointing out what I'm seeing or not seeing
