I know it does vary, but in general roughly at what size do Festaes start coloring up?

My female started to color up around the 4" mark and my male is around 4" and has the spangles but still has kind of a drab body color.

Can't tell if it is male or female either at this stage, eh?

Yeah thanks. XD I don't mind either way, so I guess will just have to wait it out.
