the best way is to look for seminal plugs (sperm). your BTS is definetely sexually mature at 3.5 years old. if you notice what looks like little pieces of dried up cloudy mucus or wet cloudy mucus near his/her poop, than your BTS is a male. if you have no idea what i am talking about, than yours is most likely a female.
