can I sex yet?

hi,

one of my cresteds that was hatched in september is looking like an adult now. I read varying accounts of when I can accurately sex the animal and how. there are no hemipenal bulges and it is 10months old. does this mean female, or should I keep waiting to be sure.
I have read lately that 4-6 months is the sexable age. is this true? I have been comparing to the adult pair I bought recently to see what I can determine. I have read about the preanal pores, and can clearly see them on my male. the youngster in question has some evidence of pores, but very faint. I have read that females have the pores but they are much smaller.

any advice/input is always appreciated
Adam
