Default Mr or Miss (some graphic images...)

So starting to worry that my Misha is a boy... has been flashing more often (and its getting bigger) So I have the pics of her latest flash and her normal tail too see what you guys think... (Misha was 9.9cm when I last measured her a couple of weeks ago)

if that is a Hermann it's tail looks longer than my two females' tails and my torts are about 15cm. the plastrons of my pair are both concave too whereas yours looks to be convex but it's hard to see.

if I had to get it right at gunpoint I'd say male
