Default New Satanic

Found nothing at the local show today but a friend told me of a leaf tail in a local pet store. Checked it out and found a beautiful fat active phantasticus! Reasonably priced too. At first glance I figured a male from the diamond base to the tail like so many pictures I've seen, but theres no bulge under neith, so unless I am wrong which I tend to be, looks like female? Fill me in if I am missing a detail that proves it male.
Thanks for looking!
Ben

I would say female as well. No eaten off tail, not even at tail base pretty much proves to me female.

She's beautiful!

thanks everyone for confirming the gender. I am really happy to have grabbed her, satanics are the reason I wanted to get into leaf tails just never had the chance to get one yet!
