Still think Dougall is female? Is her tail ok; it's quite big I think for her size?

Thanks

Sorry looks rather like a boy

Could well be! At least the name will fit!!

He did originally look what I thought was female but the tail has grown and grown!

Corra can you take a picture of the supracaudal scute (the big marginal above the tail) looking down from the top.

I'm asking because males eventually get what's called a clam shell shaped scute. It bulges out and curls under, looking very much like a clam shell.

The tail does look a bit male, but the scutes still look female.
