What do you guys reckon? I'm thinking male (but I'm no expert!). He's nearly 2".
If the picture isn't helpful, I'll try and pull the moult later from the hide + see if enough survived.

Hopefully you can get the moult and try sexing it that way instead :)
Mine is slightly bigger but I have no idea on sex atm here's a pic for you :)

Your one is lovely! Looking forward to seeing mine get as colourful when bigger. They are stunning little things. So glad I have one.

I'll see if I can delve into the hide later to grab that moult. Think I can go around the back. But you having a bigger one unsexed though has made me realise that it might be too early to know in my case. Guess I may have to wait a bit longer :)

Whenever my one has moulted its shread it so I can't see :( hopefully better luck next time but always worth looking at a moult if you can :)

Another moult just over a week ago. 2" approx moult sexed today. Confirmed male. Idiot me accidentally wrecked the abdomen trying to get a photo to post. Now I'll have to wait until he moults again (lmao), hopefully I'll be a bit more careful and have a photo for you guys. I guess I'll be looking to line up a future gf for when my little man matures......

He's approx 2.25" now.
