No you don't

, it is a Male,
I only looked at the first pic first off, and seeing it's large abdomen I immediatly thought female, looking at the other 2 pics you can see it is a male

Okay. So you`re agreed that it`s male. can you explain exactly why it`s a male please. I`m still having problems with sexing.

Many thanks folks.
