Baby veiled sexting and crown questions - help please

[Katacara]

Hello so I have had my baby Peepers for almost 3 weeks now. I have looked through the pictures of the Spurs on the back feet of male veiled's and compared them to the back feet of Peepers and I think he is a he but then I read that sometimes females have small bumps that can be mistaken for spurs so now I am questioning my assessment again. I want to make sure that Peepers is healthy and happy so if he is really a she I want to be prepared for the need of an egg bearing bin.

I also am wondering about the size of Peepers crown. When I rescued Peepers I was told he was 4 weeks old, that would mean that today when I took these pictures he is almost 2 months old, however when I view pictures of other veileds they seem to be much larger in both the size of their bodies and size of the crown. This is another reason I am questioning if Peepers is really a he.

I have added a bunch of pictures but if they are not clear enough or not the right angles please let me know and I will take more. Any help with these questions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks - Katacara & Peepers

I concur looks male to me. Just a little under development of his veil, and a little bend in his back leg. Looks like a little underlying MBD in my opinion. Make sure he is getting his calcium supplements. Good luck

Thanks for pointing out the MBD!!! I am ashamed to admit I had not seen it until you pointed it out. I have only had him 3 weeks and he was not in a good home before I rescued him. I was thinking that he was just much younger than I was told and that was why his veil was so small. Anyway thank you again, I opened a new thread in the health section to get help with treatment.

100% male. MBD could explain the strange shape of the casque, too.

Looks like a male to me! (You can tell by the little spurs on his back feet)
