Wow so I got some more pics from my wife and he is small! Not even three inches! in the pic in my wifes hand he just takes up her palm. And she took a really close up of the front claws and the back ones in comparison. I think I have to say male I know your gonna say he is too small but look at those front claws. Hope you all enjoy:)

Thank you for your opinions:) I hope he is male! I so want a male. I think it is a bit easier to have a male. You don't have to have a nesting area. They are a bit smaller. I so want to enter Toku in the photo contest, but I need a better camera. I will try to get some epic pics of him when I return to the U.S. I love his patterns. The colors are becoming more vibrant as he ages but the iphone camera isn't showing any of it. I will try to talk my wife into getting some really cool shots of him basking and swimming with our descent camera. We don't have a really good one. The only problem is when she walks into her room he darts off the dock into the water, lol. So the water shots will be easy he doesn't run and hide just gets in the water. But he is doing good and eating good. Thanks for looking
