Visually I can't tell you jack about the sex one way or another. Maybe with a microscope you would have a chance at getting the sex nailed down.
Sorry man, I think you are going to have to wait a few more molts before you know for sure.
(just my opinion of course) :)

I'd say female, simply because in my experience the majority of this species is female and there is nothing that specifically looks male.
Been wanting to do a poll to see what m/f ratio of these people own.

Do you mean in the pics or in the general species?

In your pictures. Pulchra males are pretty obvious when they get some size... I wouldn't worry much about the sex of yours, males are still desirable and take many years to mature, you have plenty of time to figure it out.

Here's a freshly molted male at about 4.5", a bit more obvious than typical because it hasn't darkened up yet.





Here's a female at about 2.5-3" if I remember correctly.
