Right now I think its a female...but maybe thats just cause I want it to be...

That looks like a female to me.

I had hoped more people would chime in, Joseph.

Here's an old post about sexing C. orientalis, with useful pics:

I think it's a female too.

I think(if anyone has male photos) that they would work well on C.C. I felt "Left out" with all the info on the other newts and just "refer to basic sexing info...for C. o"

After all, her cloaca could be described as "kinda" bulging to a novice(my) eye.

I'd say female
