I smell a wager.

Pretty sure the advanced rostral process development and the full tail base mean you've got a male there. Bet you can't wait to see him get color!

I think this is the most compelling argument. That, the fact that in most of the pictures the tail is raised to a position that would mask the "bulge" and in the one where the tail is not turned up I see what might be a small bulge in addition to the color. I've got my dollar on male.

The animal is not mature, hence no definable hemipenal bulge.

4 for male, 5 for female.

Update?
