my guess is male, but at 7 yrs. he is sexually immature i would think. in a few more years you'll probably be able to tell for sure. i'm not sure he would have a 18" shell if he was in the wild at 7. a zoo keeper told me that a 17" ast is sort of like a (teenager} in the wild and hard to tell the sex. its harder to tell on ast than commons at an early age.
