I was wondering if a 19-20 gram juvi., showing no signs of being male, is def. going to be a female. Would they have already showed signs of being male by this weight? Thanks!

Not defiantly, but certainly a high probability. We’ve had males “drop” in the mid 20’s before and I’ve heard of others that have done so at 30g.

i would agree with randy. although i've never had one get to 20 grams and have it turn into a male. usually by 15-20 grams you can tell visually.
I had one at 22 grams drop and another one at 29 grams drop but usually around 15-20 grams you can get a fairly good guess.
