Carolinas are very easy to sex, will be Identical to this in segment count, but my oldest female griffin is a subadult, need males xD.

Hopefully some one will jump in & correct me if I'm wrong

'Cause I don't want to say females will always have 6 segments

I believe that may very with different Sp.

But One Way Or The Other a Male Will Have More Segments Than a Female
