Is this P. Vittata male or female ?
Thank you in advance !

Usually males have smaller abdomens than the female (back butt part), it is hard to tell without a proper molt.

I can't tell yet, but the folia is female promising.

Or need a close-up of underside of T. Sexing from a molt is most reliable, I think

Wait for him/her to be flat against the terrarium wall and take a picture (as clear and zoomed in as possible) of the abdomen on the lungs side focusing on the part of the abdomen located between the first pair of lungs
Attaching a picture of my metallica as an example:

What size is it? Dorsally I am saying male. The dull colors and the prominent line down the dorsal side of the abdomen is screaming male.....although, I could be wrong. A female at that size should already be showing some bold contrast.

I'd like to see a ventral photo to confirm. I'm leaning towards male with what I'm seeing though.
