Hello everyone, I know this isnt the right section, but it is hard to get anyone to sex any pics in the ventral sexing section, sooooo here are a few pics of the "lil beast" I know the pics showing how big it is has some bad reflection but you can see its size and it is atleast 5 inches if not bigger completely stretched out.






thanks for looking.

my guess would be female but who knows.

yeah, I know. I never remember the spelling so I just leave them as EF. The fusillae is the what EF I'm refering to.

yes both are correct, one is boy E. Fusillae and one is girl E. Furrow. i remember them as (which i KNOW THIS ISNT CORRECT) Fusillae is like Fuselage (like a rocket or airplane which is long and tube like) and Furrow (like a Burrow or hole) once again I KNOW this isnt a proper way to tell them apart but word association has helped me out in SO many ways i dont know what i would do without it.

edit: and yes its female lol

The epigastric furrow is present in both males and females.

Agreed. What I think I've been picking up from some of the sexing threads is that it can look "fuller," maybe a little "gaping-er" in females, whereas in males it can look more like a tight, unswollen line in appearance...Anyone with more experience want to set me right? :)
