Thanks all. So if I have a Cherax Quad, I believe I have a female. I'm yet to get a better pic of the underside (too chicken to try and pic him/her up yet!) but from what I can see while she's moving around, I think she has female bits... Also, from what I understand after some of research, males should have a bit of red on the outside of the claw which is absent here. It is supposed to get more pronounced as they get older, and she is young, but there's no hint of it yet.
what I haven't been able to find is a definitive value for how big she might get with various sources claiming 15cm to 30cm and everything in between. that's quite a difference, 15 I can deal with, 30 might be a little big for my liking!
Bit annoyed with the shop, went back over the weekend to check their labelling and sure enough 'procambarus clarkii'. Buggers...
