[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 53241, member: 4086"] Well Ladylola, the pic won't load for me, it's probably my connection, but it would just be a guess anyway. We would need a pic of the top set of book lungs from a molt to give you an accurate sex on it. I've been fooled too many times trying to vent sex...and I've vent sexed a lot of mine, and made guesses that made me feel like an idiot later when I got a clean molt...juvenile females can be leggy sometimes, and make you think they're males, and males can be small, slow growing, and have proportionate legs and make you think they're female. Many males have a clear line across the upper abdomen that looks like it might be a ventral slit, without the little raised spot being obvious. It's an exercise in frustration without a molt :P [/QUOTE]
