Hello,

Was wondering if anybody with experience with grammodes can help me with a question? At what size can one determine their sex? I happened to pick up a grammodes that's about 2 inches. Was curious if they would have developed all the red spotting by this size? Thank you in advance for any help.
 
yes they can, but it depends on how clear the spangling is on the sides of the body. At about 3 and a half inches it will be easy to tell if you have a male or female. Males have red spangling on their sides. Females get really dark when attempting to breed, or when flaring up and fighting which males do not get. Hope it was informative
