I think picture is not close enough nor do I think the lighting is enough.View attachment 219005 Just curious if my pokie vittata is too small to sex? Solid 1.5" not had long enough to secure a molt. Don't have much to work with pic wise. I hope it zooms as well as it does on my phone. :/
Below is a 1.0 P rufi, 2" DLS I owned. The "dot" indicates he's male.Yea my stupid camera wouldn't focus close so I had to back up and then zoom in on it. I read that 1.5 to 2" is optimal time for pokies. I've got a feeling it is a male. I seen some picture diagrams of promiximal portion of the abd that showed a little triangle on males and a horizontal line on females. Idk the precision of this method though. This is my first pokie and I only had my H. Mac prior to it.
Very good example of what to look for.. I wish it was always that easy!Below is a 1.0 P rufi, 2" DLS I owned. The "dot" indicates he's male.

Ah, thanks Poec! As I've only done it twice, with the same species, I didn't know that. I forget how accurate the dot method is across the genus. What's your experience on that been?Plus, the dot can be either dark or light, depending on the age and species.
