I agree, looks female. However, it may be a bit to small to know with absolute certainty.

Thanks but all the time she tries to jump and simulate a male mating, she is masturbating or what?

Not in the way a human might. It's more dominance and often also thought a way to stimulate a male into breeding. Is there a breeding size male in with her?

Defiantly a female. Males don't quite as big as that. Sometimes I have to separate my females when there being dominant, nipping toes and mounting is common in my collection.
