those pics arent really clear enough to tell. and he seems a little too young to sex at the minute
However i think i may be able to see a couple of pores so that may suggest male, but that is by no way definate as they may just be speckles on the picture _________________

I agree; 4 months is a bit young to tell, even if it looks female now, a month or too down the line he could turn out to be male (It can happen literally overnight lol)
If you want to put some clearer pics up it might become more obvious, but again, he/she may not be old enough to tell.
If its male, you should see a small line (like a really depressed V shape) of pre-anal pores; and he should have 2 hemipenal bulges ; but if he doesn't have them yet, there's still time for them to develop with him only being 4 months old.
My crestie is 5 months old, and I cant sex him/her yet, but some cresties develop sooner. _________________ 0.0.1 Amel corn

Agreed with the above...one of my males didn't have any obvious balls until he was about a year old. _________________ Sophie
