How long is it Leone? If it's still sub-adult and has bristles like that, I'd tend to think it was a male. However, if it's a good 10cm or more, I'd tend to think it was a female.

Yes at that size i would have to agree that it is a male, as woodsy said , if it was a large adult the females show small bristles but a large male with have bristles like trees growing off his lip!

I cant wait for the trees to start getting bigger - maybe they need more fertilizer.. :)

i reckon it's a she.
males at 6cm would start to get bristle growing almost to the top of his head.
but it's still young and hard to tell.
nice pictures
