I think your animal is too small to sex. The curving under of the carapace makes me think male but the anal notch is narrow, a female character. Until is is 14" or so it is not definite. Because it has some male character we'd buy it as a male if it were offered to us in the store.

I have a page on sexing sulcata here.
