Male or female in T. carnifex?

[stefan]

Can someone help me to determin the sexes of these two carnifex? They are about 10 cm in length. It should be a male and a female.

Male?

Female?

both females but being so young maybe they might turn into males. You have to wait until they reach sexual maturity. If they stay the same then they'll surely be 2 females.

Thank you for the help. So the yellow stripe along the spinal cord is present also in young males?

 

[francesco]

not in adult males but in newly metamorphosed individuals
