The white headmarking from the male Trimeresurus albolabris (wl treeviper).
Is this also present with baby's of this specie?
Or becomes this showable on a later age?
Who can help me?

Hi
Yes, with breedings of true T. albolabris pairs you can determine sex by the length of the lateral labial stripes. Males will have stripes to the snout, while females will either totally lack the stripe or the stripe will stop well short of the snout. It is extremely convenient to 100% guarantee the sex of your offspring!
It is becoming more difficult to use this method, though, in captivity. So much interbreeding is going on becuase it is so hard to differentiate species and subspecies of green Trims. And so many animals are mislabeled. Email me if you need some help with something. Best of luck.
