Anybody able to tell the sex of my Sav? this one has me stumped..

I'll cut right to the chase because I had a whole thing typed out but lost it ;"(

By the shape of the tail underneath, Crash looks to be male. There is a "channel" in the middle, and what looks like two hemipene bulges at the base of the tail, however, the head shape looks female according to a thread I read here some time ago (trying to find it but which said that "the head of a male is bigger than the female, females neck/head is more elongated males shorter/fatter)

What do you guys think?:





Crash is in shed in these pictures that's why he's so wrinkly, but as you can see in the 2nd picture, there is clearly a bulge at the base of the tail, and he/she has a pretty long neck/head, no?

And finally, a little off-topic but here's Crash's grow out tub. It is 42 inches long, 22 inches wide, and 20 inches tall. Crash is currently at 16-18 inches and 10 months old, was about 5-6 inches and 3 months old when he/she was put in there. Getting time to build the final enclosure which will be no problem, I plan to have it done by winters end (when the tub enclosure will definitely expire).






Just thought I'd share that as a lot of people wind up using big fish tanks to grow them out and all that, but this way, you can hold humidity and temps a lot better and all that great stuff. Took my about an hour or two to modify the tub to work as well, very easy.
