In addition to probing you can take a good guess with spur size. If its a male, usually you can get a fingernail under the spur to inspect it and by doing so you can see the muscle attached. Most females have a very tiny spur or almost none at all with more of a modified flat scale. You can also palpate like in bcc's but that takes a lot of practice to feel what you are looking for.

Oh and guys, vlad has some shed stuck on his head but I'm not sure how to get that off. he has been rubbing his head on things in his cage and I don't want him to hurt his self. what should I do?

i don't see any spurs at all when I'm looking at him there. I think I'm just going to wait till he sees a vet. I don't want ti hurt him trying to look.
