This is a picture of my Desert Hairy. This is the best picture I could get after taking 100. Can anyone tell if I have a male or female? 20161017_095535.jpg 20161017_095606.jpg

Blurry picture but based on pectine length I am going to guess it is male.

Any other opinions? because i have also had someone tell me its a female because of how fat it is, and how far spread out the flaps were. and from my best count from this picture i count 31 spikes max. but i really dont know much.

It's female. You can sex Hadrurus species easily by the distance between the pectines. Male pectines will usually overlap.

Thank you Brandon after doing tons of research I was starting to think I had a female I just needed a second opinion.
