its hard to tell from your pictures...but if it is young you probably can't quite tell yet.

I don't think anyone can determine mali sex from femoral pores. If you post pics of the animal, we probably can tell from the color and shape.

determining mali sex is extremely difficult. pores are definitely not a way to tell, one of my females has almost as many as my male. coloring can also be tricky, what with the male mimic females and such. check the tail next to the vent, see if there are bulges developing along there.

From coloration it seems to be a female and since its wild caught that increases the possiblity; since there is a higher percentage of CB females having the mimic coloration than there is WC ones.
