[QUOTE="Phil, post: 171862, member: 4151"] Hiya, there is a lot of flare back from the flash and scratches on the tank which make it very hard to sex. I would say looks male to me. If a mature male you would see "bulbs" that look a bit like boxing gloves on the palps. Male Balfouri also tend to have a bluer carapace with the females being a lot lighter. Here is a freshly matured male for comparison and a pairing with him (you can just make out the female underneath has a much lighter carapace) [ATTACH type="full" alt="20200424_131841.jpg"]45728[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20200507-132807_Video Player.jpg"]45729[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
