I'm pretty sure that I see the uterus externus (flap), so I am going with female. I would get another opinion, though. I'm not that familiar with this species.

@corey holton I'm not sure how large males of this species are when they mature, but sometimes you can assume female for some species once they reach a certain size. I would almost assume that at 8", this would only be a female, but I am not familiar enough with the species to be confident to say that.
Hopefully someone else chimes in.
