Hi and welcome.

Where did tou get her from? How old is she? Even with regen tail, how big is she?

next, I'll need a clear close-up shot of the vent that includes a bit above and below it.

She's very pretty. Looks like a south Fl. wild caught.

Looks female, but the underside will tell you for sure.

Looks female. Without the ventral pics, not certain.

Female shape to the head, neck, and weight distribution, it definitely looks like a female.

Depends on your comfort/experience level. Very docile, they'll just sort of hang there with minimal adjustment needed. So young it might need more restraint.
