Unless females now have hemipenes, it would be safe to say that it's a male.

I've bought females that had hemipenes. At least after I raised them up for 2-3 years. lol. Never trust a female that has only been popped. Always re-check with a probe.

If they were little white stubby looking things you could have been seeing scent glands not penes. Hemipenes are not hard to mistake.

If they were 'penes, its a male. It could be glands, in which case its a female. But 'penes are not always red or pink. They can be white, and sometimes even transluscent.

pop, then probe (both sides) then that will give you your answer on the sex.

good luck!
