A little hard to tell with the lighting, but I do believe I'm seeing female.

Unfortunately, those look more like male accessory organs to me.

@Ghost56 Are they usually down on the line of the furrow like that? I thought they usually were up above it, kinda floating if that makes any sense.

@Arachnophoric The ones that are actually visible are just like that from my experience. I can also sort've make out what appears to be a 'dot' and dense patch of satae typical of males in that pic. Here's one of my B. albos that is a confirmed male for comparison.

3" B. albo "Nicaraguan" Female or Male Accessory Organs?

@Ghost56 Oof, now that's just cruel. I'd have thought that was a female if you didn't tell me otherwise!

Male. They can fool you, for sure. That is how I ended up with my Basil - a 'moult confirmed female'.
