Unfortunately, at that size, you can't. My guy was severely stunted, and with his age, he has grown his pores, and is a lot more developed socially and sexually than his size would suggest. He's about 7 inches from tip of nose to base of tail (not including tail length, 'cause his was amputated yesterday, and he only has 8 inches left). As they get older, they'll mature, and you can usually see the changes and decide that way. Another way is to look at the spores on the undersides of his thighs. Being that tiny, you should be able to just barely make out one or two of the larger ones. Unfortunately, in younger igs, that's not always accurate, as females develop them as well, but theirs will never be as big as a males. So a lot of the sexing you will have to do later. But now, go with your gut instinct. I knew mine was a guy the first time I saw him. And I know a female when I see one. Just a gut instinct I guess, that I usually look into their eyes to understand and feel. Good luck though! Either way, your ig is yours, and you'll love it no matter what...
