tiliqua rugosa

I know a bobtail's sex can not really be determined simply by "looking" at it. All my text books tell me a male has a much longer tail than a female, and a wider head. If the text books are in fact correct, I would say my bobtail is a little boy. Just wanted to know what everyone else thinks? :)
