Bought this kid "unsexed." It hasn't molted in my care but I have my suspicions about its sex. Anyone else want to make a guess? I won't say what I think, for fear of messing up the sampling. @Scoolman your input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks, guys. I agree I have someone interested in her, so I wanted some impartial judges for him to go to in order to back up my assurance that it's female even though I haven't gotten a molt from her yet.

Lucky, lucky, lucky, you.
I hope one of mine turns out to be female. I'm not greedy - one out of the two would be enough!!

@VanessaS I was hoping for a boy, actually! I can't be unhappy with a female this size, though.

Well, my potential trade partner has backed out. Guess she's staying with me a little longer.

@Scoolman So you suspect male? It looked too high up to me. In reality it looks very female, but I haven't gotten a molt yet.

I am viewing the image on my phone so it is not very clear. But I would not call it until you get molt. G pulchra are normally very easy to gender ID ventraly, although pictures cab be very deceiving.
