Sexing of Marbled Convict

[baxtor_lex]

I have hunted for a marbled for a long time, and hoping it’s male. But I have a feeling it’s female
It would NOT stay still, so really struggled to get a half decent photo

Looks male to me. Harder to say with the marble coloration, but I feel like the pink/orange hues in the abdominal area would be more pronounced on a female.

Thanks! To the naked eye there’s no oranges/pinks. I think the flash may have just caused some other colours to show. Really hope it is male! Time will tell

It can be difficult with the marbled guys. Looks like he might have a tiny nuchal hump, and see no orange, so first impression would be male. If you can get a close up shot of the vent I could give you a more certain answer

I’ll try and get one of the vent over the next few days, it’s settled in really well so shouldn’t stress it too much if I’m quick with it, thanks for the advice.
I know it’s only a convict, but I like the marbles, I couldn’t find one for years, and went into the LFS in another city to me on the off chance ( I saw one in there years ago) and there he was! Couldn’t believe my luck.
Need to find him a nice female next
