Females end up abit darker and blander in colour when adults compared to males, I am definitely not an expert, but that looks sorta like a female...
 
How old? I'll lean toward female, more likely if it's got some age on it...
 
I've heard that males have slightly longer tales...(rhymes):lol:
 
that would be absolutly massive if it was SVL that was a bit of a given and didnt need explaining imo. It does look female and you will def be able to tell in a year or so. looks healthy. great dragon.
 
It is very easy to work out the sex of a water dragon. As FAY said, males get a red belly, females don't.
 
But- it may be a late developer, only being 8 months old, or may be dulled down due to stress. EWD can get up to a metre in length matt, so 30 cm SVL would be about average.

IMO.
