So question: Is this white showing up on his body indicative of marbling or can bettas just have white skin???

What I see looks normal, I can't see anything that indicates marbling but I am toying with the idea that this fish may infact be a female and what you can see is her eggs beginning to ripen within her, you need to see if you can encourage a bubblenest, to do this there must be an area of very little flow and a piece of almond leaf or similar for a nest to be built under, whilst some females may occasionally build nests males will do it much more readily, I put a so called young female in a breeding trap with an IAL and the following day there was a huge bubble nest no doubt he is definitely male! so try it and see
your nerite snail is definitely a female, I can see her tiny white eggs on your glass

But there is a definite beard and there isn't an egg spot. I can't get a pic of the flaring because the only way to do that is to hold a mirror in front of him so I can't take the pic if the mirror is in the way

He does certainly look male fin wise, how big is he? I have a very young male only about an inch in length, the other thing that makes me think perhaps female is the stress striping, this is much more common in females they will do it to tiny amounts of stress where as males need alot of abuse before they show theirs lol, my young male hasn't done it since I bought him home over a month ago, any attempts at bubble nesting?

He's about an inch long. I don't have anything floating at the top of my tank yet. It's almost time to put a new IAL so in a few days I'll float one of those and see what happens.

I must have done something right/different, Spiderman didn't stripe up after the water change today
(I'm sorry, I don't know why the thumbnails are doing that bc they are the right side they need to be on my computer)

I have moved the tank over to my boyfriend's appartment (since I bassically live here now ). The tank move was yesterday and I think his cat just now noticed the fish.
(Sorry the pics are turned, idk why it keeps doing that when I upload through my phone)
The cat batting at the tank isn't the same as tapping on the glass is it (because if Finding Nemo taught me anything it was to not tap on the glass... Or shake the bag... Or have an awful niece named Darla)?
Spiderman actually seems really interested in the cat. (The cat's name is Reggie by the way). Reggie was just a pawing at him and he wasn't swimming away or looked intimidated at all.
