Gender help?

Honestly, baby emperors will eat their selves to death.. So yes, you are feeding that little one way too much. Give it a week off please or you will kill it. I have 8 little ones left from a litter of 15 my big girl gave me in march of 2011. (I sold the rest) they are only fed 3-4 times a month and they get enough crickets to get nice and fat each time.

If it is still that plump in a week, wait another week. Mine have gone up to 3 weeks before during the winter. Keep the humidity up in the enclosure and give it time to digest that belly full.

As for gender, it is likely too small to tell yet. You tell by the size/shape of the pectines.

As cute as your little guy is, all rolly polly like that, you should probably lay off the feedings a bit. He definitely looks obese. I have a full grown adult, and he never wants to eat. He eats when he feels like it, not the other way around. Sometimes he'll only accept food from me once a week, sometimes every few weeks. Others he'll eat on his own if I leave it in there long enough. And as a matter of fact, he's not nearly that plump.

That is what i thought. When i looked at him. I was like. "I am sure i am not supposed to see the softness on his side.
I was told when i got him that if he eats then let him. but obviously not.
Thank you guys. =]

I should start making him work out
