hello all! its been quite a while since ive last posted and my bluey is no longer a little baby (he turns a year old next month!)
so i figured now might be a good time to ask about sexing him, not that i mind what he is, but its just that im curious
just some stats: 48cm & 705g (might be a off since he was being squirmy while weighing)
i currently keep him on jungle mix substrate but havent noticed anything that may resemble a sperm plug so im not sure

photos:

note: the little bend is his tail is from an accident he had when he was about three/four or so months old, so thats old. it doesnt seem to cause him any trouble and as far as im concerned, i dont mind it, if anything it makes him a little unique aha

if anyone needs more photos, ill be more than happy to help! id just like to know if he's really a he ^^
thank you for any insight!

I think he's a she.

Males often have a larger and more triangular head, a thicker tail base, slimmer sides and a huskier throat than females, males tend to have orange and more brightly colored eyes, whereas females are browner. Depositing sperm plugs occasionally is a good indicator you have a boy.

My guess is female.
