you cant really tell from lokking etc you would have to get them probed by a proffessional

sometimes you can tell by spermplugs with the males but it is not likly b/c onc they dry you cant see them

just by looking at them there aren’t any definite sex identification tecniques (except i guess males are supposed to have less convex shaped bodies, broader heads, and brighter eyes, none of which are even close to exact methods. sperm plugs are noticeable on certain substrates, also when males poop, their hemipenes will temporarily come out. if two are put together, you should be able to tell by observing their initial actions towards one another.
