Forgive me, I am in no way criticizing or arguing with you. Btw, my male is every bit this large, if not larger.......

Andy, do look at her shed for those sperm plugs, but do keep in mind, even the lack of plugs doesn't guarantee a female. My male sheds sperm plugs only about 70% of the time. She is a very pretty girl (Tikigator obviously has a lot of experience, so I'm assuming she really is a she, lol)!!
Thats why I said a perch pic would help it can be pretty obvious male vs female when an adult is perching....although like I said i cannot of course guarantee. I have seen some very big overweight males that totally screamed female and ended up shedding plugs. But a healthy adult male are usually able to be distinguished, again multiple perch photos help. Feeding and behavior is also a good way to tell but obviously cant really do that over the computer
