i've got a young grandis, and i know how to point out the femoral pores, but i was wondering when i can expect to see signs of sexual differentiation. thanks

I don't have grandis, but I do have standingi (roughly the same same size?), and I was able to see the males pores at about 5 months old.
Best...

i also have p.standingi and i noticed the characteristic male light yellow hue in the pore area when they were around 5 inches long (3 months).
