Lesser Siren - Male or Female?

[Catnkit]

Hey all! Kinda new here so forgive me if anything seems off. Quick question for the wise!

This is my lovely wonderful adorable precious Pittpitt.
Male or female?

I've always referred to him as a male until he was 'old enough to tell'. I purchased him on Aug 29, 2011, he was already 9 inches then. So two and a half years later he's a smidge over 16" and I'm figuring he's old enough to be an 'adult'. So with a tail at 5 3/4" and a smooth-ish forehead... should I start calling him a her from now on?

Knowledgeable opinions appreciated!

I'm no expert on sirens, but the head shape definitely points toward it being a female. Whatever gender it is, it sure is cute!

I figured, but to be honest I think I'll be fully satisfied when I get someone who is very experienced with them (breeder, studying them, kept several for years, etc) to give me a final say. I love my beautiful baby Pitt no matter what but I want to be extra super sure he's a she before trying to edit that in my mind.

That one was pretty helpful. I'm pretty sure he's a she now. It'll take some time to get used to that, but it's happened before. Thanks!
