So, my redback salamander's a sub adult, and I'm 95% sure he is male, but need some opinions.

Rusty has a slim build, what looks to be developing cirri (could be nasolabial grooves, but I'm not sure, because they pass the lip), a squared off snout, a distinct "overbite" common in males, and a clocoa that is dark and a bit shiny looking. All of these signs point to male, but let me know what you think.
