I sex mine the same day they are born.
It takes a bit of experience, good bright, lighting, and good eyes(or some use a magnifier)
but males will always have visible mobile claws. The claws
on newborns are small and often the same color as the scales under them
but they will be visible, whereas no such structure will be found on females.
