Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has any idea why my P. Irmina's 2 back legs are really grey, but all the rest are jet black, I can't find anything like that. I will post pictures later when she comes out. :confused:

I honestly don't know, maybe thats just your T's color pattern, I'm pretty new though, so I have no idea lol, just give it time, someone should have an answer in a day or two

try feeding it and take a picture... maybe retained molt? (although i find that looks abit different.....)
I never kept an irminia so I cant really say if its a color stage.

so I am going to have to wait until she comes out on her own, she tunneled under her water dish and nothing seems to faze her.

Have you molt sexed it as female? If not.. My guess might be leading towads it being a male..

Here is my female at 5".. She has looked this was for the past 2 or 3 molts..

Hmm.. I wonder if it will change when it molts again.. How long has it been since it molted last?

october 5 09 I think, but I am pretty sure she had a hidden molt, when I got her she was 2.5"

OK... I just had a thought... Without pictures or other people.. Its just a "thought".. So whenever you get pictures others might be able to help..

My thought.. I hate to be the first to say this.. But maybe its a hybrid.. irminiaXcambridgei... Eek! I said it... :eek:

Im not say it IS a hybrid.. But there is a chance of it.. I know there are a few members here that have one..
