At or almost 3" it is normal not to eat for longer then 3 days tooand most definitely you can sex her/him at that size. At that size they don't need lots of food, they slow down growing, thus less need of nutrition. For adults it is normal to go without a food for a week, mine sometimes go off food for 2-3 weeks at that time of the year, some of them prefer bigger prey and don't see why waste their energy for smth small. You will learn how to respond to what they try to convey. Watch how they behave, do they give you a "im hungry look or "get lost " look. You gotta respect that.
Look for nuptial pads or lack of them, black/dark coloured mole looking thing on the inside of thumbs. If not sure, just take a pic and post, we'll help you with that.
not reliable sexing method by head structure and its comparison to a body. My guess it is a girl in a pic.
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

I completely agree with Lija. My 2 year old male only eats once a week or so and won't touch crickets, only larger prey like dubias and hisser roaches and once a month a jumper mouse.
I can some times feed large Canadian nightcrawlers and hornworms.
He is already slowing down for the winter even though I use a zoomed htgrotherm controller to keep him at 81F at day and drop to 75F at night with a 12hr day.
I keep his enclosure at 70% RH. and he is doing fine.
I do take him out for a weekly soak in treated 80F water for 15 to 20 min with a bath towel over the container to give him some privacy and keep the warmth in.
He does all his business then and about 50% of the time sheds.
It keeps his enclosure very clean.
