My male only had two mating seasons, and I had him for four summers. He was 27" TL when I first adopted him. He never really acted very male, but I know for sure he was male.

: like he grew into them. The vet told me that he
: thought it was a male, but I am not sure. Anyone
: have any suggestions about if this could be male
: or female? He was only about a foot when we got him
: (about a year ago, so he is AT LEAST one year old),
: and now he is probably about 2 1/2 feet (from snout
: to tip of tail). Don't males usually start mating
: season, etc. at about 1 1/2 years? He is AT LEAST
: that old, probably more towards 2 years old.
