Mamashack Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 How old is it? Looks to be about 1cm? I'd lean towards female altho it may be too early to tell. Whatever it is - beautiful colouring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever it is - beautiful colouring! Hi, Thanks yes it is very beautiful. To be honest i have no idea how old it is etc. I spotted it yesterday. I think its just under 1cm in length. U think i must wait another week or two and monitor it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamashack Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 If it's around 1cm then it is still a juvenile and too early to tell for sure. There are a couple of ways to tell which are the female ones when they get to about twice that size - the appearance of a saddle and a rounder underbelly. Males tend to stay smaller than the female and have a flatter underbelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
