around 6-9 months for me but sometimes some males can look like females until they get older. Try to see what temp it was incubated at that may be of some help if the person know. usually 80-83 females 84-86 either way 87 to 90 males or possible superfemales. I belive that is correct alot of breeders i know and that i have read about the incubation temps. , and from me breeding temp sexed.

if you get it from a pet store then it is probably a female.

reptiledude how do you figure just because it's at a petstore means it's going to be female i have seen around the same amount.

usually at 3-5 months depending on the size they are sexable.

If you aren't able to have a female then don't take the chance on buying an unsexed baby. Buy an adult male, or a sexed younger male. It wouldn't be fair to the female if you buy her, stress her out, then disgard her because she's not a male.
