female, i think

I am tempted to say female, but don't count on it for another month or two. Males can develop the bulges anywhere from 7-9 months of age, so you may notice in a couple weeks/months that your supposed female has hemipenes!

I was in a hurry last night, so I couldn't explain.

Even though the bulge is small, there is "cleavage" or an indention down the middle of the bulge, which is indicative of a developing hemipenile bulge.
