Eight inches of Pete Moss

[nickpanzee]

So Pete Moss is now 8 inches in length. Looks female to me. What do you think? Big enough to tell yet?


Here's a link to my last Pete Moss pictures:

I would say female.

I'd bet good money on female.

Thanks guys

I hope Pete Moss is female. I have 4 smaller ones that I hope at least a couple more are female too.

At about what size can you tell the sex? I can't seem to find that anywhere.

When they are big enough. I know that does not help a lot, but it really does seem to vary by individual and by group or type. If I had to give you numbers, I would say that you should start to see hints of male characteristics by 6", especially in Southern types, and should know by 7-8"- but I would not put a lot of money on that answer.

Well at least it does help a little

Thanks!

Looks female to me too. But I actually am not very good at sexing...

I hope everybody's right

It would be nice if I had a couple more females than males overall
