They're not too hard to sex ventrally, especially at that size, so if you post tummy pics I will do what I can! They do look very different at maturity. It's been a while since I raised a MM, so I'd listen to Nicolas. I thought I saw some difference pre-maturity, but i might be mistaken. There are a lot of others that do show a darker color for females and a greener color for males before they mature, so maybe I'm remembering incorrectly. Imo the prettiest time for females is when they've got bright purple legs and a more orange carapace. They're so beautiful as "teens."</p></blockquote><p></p>
