| I can't say for sure but I'm thinking male. Males have 23-29 and females 19-24. | |

| Edit the photo in MS Paint (or an equivalent) and place a dot on each tooth to keep track of the count. | |

| Correct. Males of this specie have 23-29 teeth. He may also be mature, or one off. They dont get much larger than that. IME. I've only kept the aeneas, and only own the aeneas morph

| Male for sure. Looks subadult to me but could be an adult. You can send him my way after my a.bicolor pops (in year most likely). It would be nice to have some of that brown mixed in. | |
