Default male or female?
Here are some pictures of bart my fire belly newt. Do you think he is male or female ? He is about 2.5 inches long. Is he/she mature enough to mate ?

Before getting bart, I had froogle. When I only had froogle, she laid eggs (she was the only one in the tank and no fishes or other animals in there either), so I know 100% she is female. Here are pictures of her: (She is bigger than bart, about 4.5 inches long)

Hi,

your "bart" is a male and "froogle" a female!
Look at the cloaca and tail length and form.
