Sexing my Eastern Lesser Siren (Siren intermedia intermedia)

[Frognewt]

Hi all,

I was just hoping someone might be able to help me sex my (eastern) lesser siren.

It's about ~10 inches long. I know the males are meant to have an enlarged forehead "bump" due to the larger masseter muscle, but I'm not confident whether mine quite rises to that level. I've been assuming female but wanted to get second opinions.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

sorry, I don’t know enough about sirens to weigh in, but I just wanted to look at it. They are so cool!! If I didn’t have so many axolotls already I’d love to get one lol

Unrelated but I am going to get 2 lessers that have been together in a 75 gallon and im putting them in a 125, wondering if you have any luck with some fish tank mates??
