Well I was thinking male but at 21 inches you should be able to see more of a crest and spikes but thats not always a for sure thing.

So just that look I say female with a possible male

But if you post pics of the underside near the vent (dont hold her upside down it can crush her lungs) lift her up and right at the base of the tail and the back two legs get a pic there and post it... then we can tell male or female...

By the size of the animal, and the crest size I will agree with Yex, really looks like a she... Look at the femoral pores, and if you can, send us some pics of that also....

i honestly think its a male. now, this is my first time guessing without seeing pores/bumps..so, i could be wrong. but, the head/mouth looks male. doesnt a female have a longer, more slender nose?

also, could be slow developer, like little foot and some of the other dragons on here. thats just my take.

here! this might help if he cant get those pics....

the top pic is of the femoral pores and the second is of the bumps that the males have. see this side of the vent area are 2 bumps on either side of the tail base and the pores on the inside of the thighs will be slightly raised.
a female will have smaller, less noticable pores (just lines really...) and only one bump instead of 2.

Looks quite colourful around the throat area - that’s usually a male trait ..

But until we "see the goods" you can’t really rule anything out?

Definitely a male! You can tell by his pores and the shape of their heads. I have a male and female Sammy and Sephira and there is a distinct difference in their head shapes. Males more broader and bolder around the eyes and females sink down around the eyes. The pic of them on my shoulders Sammy on right and Sephira on left you can plainly see the difference. Them kissing he is on the left.

its hard to tell from the pics. i agree with brian about the shape of the head. here is another example: the male is on the bottom; the one with the big blocky head:-)
