I will be getting it from a reptile shop, and they said it's a female. But isn't it impossible to sex them when they're so small? I searched on internet but I can only find methods to sex them when they're juvenile, adults or from molts. Also, they said it's only 3 or 4 months old, but after all the sling-care videos on Youtube I saw, (plus knowing that they're slow growers), seems a bit unlikely to me (but hey, what do I know, this will be my first <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />). I can ask this too when I'm at the reptile shop on Saturday, but just curious to know now!</blockquote>
