I am with Buspirone, looks to be a fusillae there so from that picture I would say about 90% sure male. better picture would help as maybe that is just a shadow or something. Greg

There's a simple answer to all these sexing problems.

Does it say it doen't want any crickets the proceed to pick them off your plate?

if so it's gotta be a girl.

How big is third instar?:(
I realize it depends on the species!, but could they shed three times in how many weeks?

I'm now thinking buying guaranteed females is the better buy...

If you've got the right equipment. It may vary slightly from species to species.....
