potential for what? potential to live long life or to grow the biggest teeth; or potential to be a rap super star?

Normally you can identify gender only once it reaches 4-5 inches.
The males hump grows bigger while the females grows only after sometime and very little(though cheap males might have a small one too)
The males anal pore is U shaped while females are V shaped.
