I got 2 of these little guys at the same time and now one is noticeably bigger than than the other. They seem to be eating the same too. My ? is, can I tell by this which one is a male or female? The bristles seem to be the same on both of them too.

Its hard to tell when they are smaller. My two BNP are about three inches right now, and I can very clearly tell the different between the male and female.
Males- Slimmer body, very long bristles on its face
Females- Thicker set body, no bristles, or very short bristles, on the face.
