There are females which can be as colorful as males.

Although they are not the norm they're around just the

same. But, a male mimic female will not show a male

like pattern or black points until she is adult in size. So

if you're so called female is already showing some

yellow back color/pattern already at a subadult size,

there's a good chance that it is a male. If it produces

eggs then this theory goes out the window ... lol.



Here's a couple of shots of a male mimic female

which produced some nice babies for me some

years ago. I guess the proof is in the pudding ... or

in this case, the egg!
