    I can't really make out the shot of the underside, if it is a male its not mature yet I don't see the "boxing gloves" either

    That's very strange to me! You can pick one up at almost any pet store, but I got her from one that specializes in taking good care of exotics. They even have an alligator in there!

    I suppose time will tell, unless I traumatize her and flip her over (which I would not do to my poor darling!). Or if I get a better photo opportunity later. Any stab at the age? Maybe a year or two?

    There's so many factors that go into growth rate there's no way to tell really, I'd guess at least 2-3 years at least. Females of this species can live 20+

    Yet, she's still not as old as the marimo in my tank lol
    But I'll keep a watch on her development and hopefully will get a molt sometime soon.

    I handled her today, she was a little less than pleased and reminded me of a cat that sort of sticks itself somewhere. But with gentle movements and getting her to adjust I lightly put her against the glass. I am 99% sure she is female. I didn't find the extra "spinnerets" that males have when they are immature and she shows no signs of a mature male.
    So hooray? for picking a gender-appropriate name and getting some more years out of her
