rub top of its nose - soft squishy = male

hard and firm = female

but from pic im leaning towards a male as it has a big head!!! :dk::dk::dk:

I did and was hard and firm...

Big I've always thought it was a male as it has a few little bristles just above the lip...

Thanks guys, I do hope it's a female...
Just never seen it get gravid... It's always kept the same shape...
