How old is old enough?

to know when your P. regalis is either a male or a female? My Blitz is about 2 years old ... haven't known about moult skins long enough to sex, so wondered how old they are when you can tell without the need for the moult skin (i.e., the "male moult")?

It looks female by the abdomen patter but molts can be sexed 2" or larger . you can send it off to Kelly Swift he does free sexing if ya need to.

Pokie keepers,

At what size does a Pokie became a threat to bite? Not that I am looking to get bit. :D I was just wondering if a 1" Pokie can bite through the skin. I suspect so, but wondered what others thought. I have my first Pokie a 1.5 inch P. regalis.
