I'd say male, too. See those bulges on the underside of the base of his tail? That's where the hemipenes are stored (inverted). Females have similar organs, called hemiclitori, but they are usually smaller and therefore give a smaller bulge.

Yeah, its pretty touchy... I think mine is a female, since i've seen her hemiclitori everted and there was no fluff at the end like for the hemipenis...
