[QUOTE="testdasi, post: 174439, member: 32655"] You need a much closer picture of the mid section (forgot the scientific name) of the T (between the band and the mouth). You might even need 2 phones, 1 for the lighting and 1 for the photo. The flash washes out the details in the black area so it's very hard to tell. Even with proper lighting, it would still be hard due to the dark colour. The mature male characteristics only show on the ultimate molt so yours are either female or immature male and it would be impossible to tell from afar. (and Pokies MM don't have hooks, just boxing gloves and for some species completely different colour). At 6.5" though, the chance of female is pretty good. I noticed P. regalis male tends to mature about the 5"-6" size. There are exceptions but rare so not 100% sure but I'd say better than 80% chance. [/QUOTE]
