2.5” G. pulchra m or f? Please & thanks!
Thanks! Would it be possible for you to point out exactly what I’m looking for using this image to identify it as male? I’m still trying to learn.

No problem!
The most evident part is the "dark triangle" that sits inbetween the two anterior book lungs,which would be the Epiandrous fusillae,which is a direct,solid male indicator. Besides that,here's a little drawing i made to show the differences that i look for for G.pulchra at this size:


And here's my female of the exact same size,for comparison:
 
Does this method work for all t' or just pulchra? Just curious 😊
This can be applied to most new world terrestrials
I've found that a lot of african Ts show barely any characteristics like NW Terrestrials do at these sizes,for example.

Is it possible to get a pouch on males? I have a 2inch rosea that from the moult pic ppl said male but has a pouch not a triangle now I am wondering if its possible the moult was mis sexed or if males can have pouches 🤔

Sometimes the strong characteristics dont show until later sizes,and these can vary by specimen. Sometimes its very subtle,which also depends on the species,thats why molt sexing is the way to go.

But anyway,i remember that molt pic,and looking back on it now im still not 100% convinced its a male. Do you still have the molt intact by any chance?
