i'm assuming you mean sexing by moults? not undersides? if its moults its not really age its more the size if you have a microscope you can sex them when they are s'lings but by eye alone i managed to sex my B. boheimi the other day and i'd say he was about a 5cm legsapn

Either way, but moults would be easier. Will google it and see what my moults are telling me
