Hmmm... not really...
Try to see any pre-anal gland, bulges from the hemipenes... but it is still too young to tell.
Probing and blood test may tell, but the former should be done by an expert, yet can still be harmful when done on such a youngster.
Gotta wait.
Make sure you have a back up name. My baby Ig name was Rocko with a back up of Rockette. Took me a couple of years before I know for sure he was a Rocko.

Touch passion when it comes your way, it's hard enough to find as it is. Don't walk away when it calls you by name.
