I have a question about a hatchling of mine who is currently 6 weeks old.
Incubation Temp was between 78 and 81 and "she" hatched at day 62.
But right now it looks like "she" has hemipen bulges...

At 6 weeks, it is impossible for the bulges to appear I believe. If you incubated that low, it will be female. She is probably just a pretty good weight and has a little bit of fat there. As far as the way I'd sex a baby, it looks female.

Don't base any decisions on my answer though, I suppose if it is a very very early bloomer and very well equipped, it could maybe be a male. But it is unlikely that those are hemipenal bulges.

Females can have bulges also. They are just not as prominent as males. Thicker bulges and pores are what you're looking for in a male.
