He still has baby bars on his head, so maybe 3 months, definitely not 8.
Did the breeder or pet shop not tell you his age?

No he did not. He said his eyes are not dark so he said it's around 7-8 months old. But he said it's a boy.

I think that iris rings appear around 4-6 months but they get lighter at about 6-12 months.
Someone will correct me if I am wrong. So he could be 4 months, but still has baby bars on his head so not much older.

Polo is definitely a boy; I am thinking, with the iris ring being so visible that he must be somewhere between 6-8 months. The flecking on his head is contradicting that ....... Marianne, I wonder if that is all he has? Flecking. Just like your Abbie did. He doesn't have a full head of baby bars.

It could be so Hezz, but his cere is also not very blue, it's that slightly lighter blue that the younger males have.. It's very confusing! |

The cere doesn't look light enough to me to be a girl.
