do any of you guys/gals know what's the earliest you have been able to identify the sex of a T?

well ventrally it varies from species to species...at least in my opinion. now with molt sexing and a decent microscope id say 2 inch maybe and i mean maybe at 1 3/4 inch you might be able to do it with a molt.
