Checking the sex of a shark

[fishfood23]

Does anyone know how to check the sex of a Bamboo Shark?

The male Shark will have "claspers" near it's pelvis they are also sometimes reffered as tube fins...a females pelvis is more triangular with no claspers.

it is about 1 1/2 months out of its egg, so I am assuming if it is a male that it will take some time for the "claspers" to develope?
