I can only sex them after the female has been berried before. The females are larger, and more solid in color unless your CRS gene pool have solid white males which are EXTREMELY rare. I would pay 10x more for a solid male than a solid female. Female's belly curves downwards(a little less than when shes berried but pretty dam close) and male's lower bodies have more of an arc to them. I can usually sex them after 4-5 months of age.
Today when I got home from school I saw one of my 5 berried CRS only holding 2 eggs. This is the first time she was ever berried so I looked around to check if she dropped the eggs or they hatched. I saw 2 baby CRS on the wall of the tank and from their size they look like they hatched last night or really early this morning. I'll see what the survival rate of this batch is. She looked like she was carrying anywhere from 25-40.
