Sexing CPO's "Mexican Dwarf Crayfish" Anyone know how? Can you tell me what I have?

I was told in another post on my CPO that it "looked" like male. Can anyone tell me definitively if this one is male or female from these photos? (you can enlarge them for more detail if that will help)

I was also told you can only sex them by looking at the belly/underside of them? Is that true?

Thanks for your help.

yup, you need to see them from the underside.

Thanks for the fast reply Msjinkzd! I was hoping I would have to catch it and take it out of the water
but this little guy/gal has been pretty tuff, so a few seconds out of water I hope won't stress it out too much...

I guess just putting it in a fish bag with water in it would be the simplest way to go about it...

Ok, this is the best pic I could get I think it's male, but doesn't look exactly like the photos above?

Congrats, it's a boy! Cutie, too. Those claspers are what you should be focusing on.
