While most of the time this is true, sometimes they have small growths. I cannot find the link right now, but if I can, I will provide it for you so you can see a xantho with horns.
If you could get pictures of the base of the tail, we can be 100% sure, even though I am fairly certain that it's male.

I looked at the base of the tail and she/he has a bulge. I think i have read if it has a bulge then it's a male. Tell me if i'm wrong.
Thanks for all the help so far!!!!!

I don't know if this is the link you are talking about, but here is a female with horns someone posted recently.

I do not see the hemipenal bulge you are referring to. Does anyone else see it? In some cases females do have preoccular horns, only poorly developed. Since she/he is so small at this point a hemipenal bulge may not show for a while.(my male is almost 9 months and it is hardly visible.

I tryed getting a pic of the base of the tail and he/she would NOT stop moving. I'll try again when he/she is tired.

undoubtedly female
its a female. aside from the fact that even a late blooming male would have farther developed horns by now. but even if we put the whole horn issue aside, its a female based on ;
1. shortness of the face
2. slope of the ocular area
3. shape of the casque
4. taller back, shorter, rounder overall body profile
5. and then there is the whole horn issue. imo, i believe it is possible for males not to develop their ocular horns, although, i think it is extremely rare. in thousands of hrs of obsessive jacksons googling, i have only seen one reported instance of a captive male xanth whose ocular horns failed to develop, and even then the authenticity of the article was questionable. and have never seen a reported instance of wild adolescent male xanths whose ocular horns had failed to develop. ime, late bloomers or not, by 3 mths all males should have their ocular horns well on the way to becoming real horns. (meaning significantly developed past the vestigial nub stage)
so, whether you want to go by 1-4, or just on 5 alone, ill guaranty its a female, but thats jmo.
heres another recent similar post
