Lately he’s been digging a bit but because I thought he was a male, I didn’t think it would be necessary to get him a lay box.

Thanks everyone. I’m glad to know I was right. Kinda sad that a professional couldn’t tell.
On another note, should I be concerned about his “digging”? I had him examined at VCA and he is mostly healthy, just a little underweight and slightly dehydrated. I have adjusted his diet and am soaking him twice a week. I’m also giving him water through a syringe in mouth because he doesn’t drink water otherwise.

I have had the same issues! I recently adopted Charlie, a beardie who turned two in June. The previous owner said a vet had told her that Charlie was a female, but there was some doubt. I watched videos and read articles and I'm pretty sure Charlie is a male, based on his hemipenis. Then yesterday I read about the femoral ducts and that article said that not all males have them, but absolutely no females have them. Charlie has them so I'm sticking with my assessment.
The sad thing is, the vet who couldn't tell the difference is the only exotics vet in the area (rural midwestern town.) I hope to never need her services.
