Sexing by tail shape - is this a male or

HeavenHell Feb 19, 2011 10:30 AM

My nephew recently purchased an unsexed Okeetee. It's about 50 grams. I don't feel comfortable probing it, so was wondering if you could help me identify the sex by the tail shape. I read that may be possible in Don Soderberg's book.

I was thinking female, but was hoping for some other opinions.



Thanks

Hey Mike that looks like a female to me. Of course it's an educated guess but if I were a betting man, I would say female.
