Hello, I've had my synsipilum for about 2 months now, when i purchased him/her at 3inches no color was apparent but now vibrant purple has emerged and im curious if at 6inch it can be sexed? Any opinions?

It’s hard to tell even at that size. IME, if the forehead slopes, male. This was a 13” male.

Males have blue eyes, females yellow, for the most part. Yours look blue? If so, it's a male.
As toiletcar said, the sloping foreheadis a good way too, but hard at 6" with no slope.
 
Thank you both for the repsonses, the synsupilum does blue eyes also so i guess we'll say male for now
