Hi all, 1 of my chaco's molted today.It was like near 3". It tooks like 5 hrs for her/him to finish.sure worries me.it is the largest T I currently own.
possible to reach 4" after this molt??

BTW, can anyone sex it for me???
here's the pic of the molt..do i need to soak it with water to make some clearer pics??

thanks

You just need to zoom up a bit.

 

[Tang]

lol... i'm not really a computer guy..
i dun know how to zoom it....
my crappy camera cant take clearer pics too if i zoom it too near.

 

[elportoed]

Most digital camera should have a macro mode that will let you take a close up. Which kind do you have?

 

[Tang]

panasonic 7mp..using macro already....but this is the most clear pic i got.when i zoom it too near, the pics were blur```damn should i get a SLR?

 

[elportoed]

That should have good enough macro. You probably can place the lens a 2-3 in away from the molt, and lightly press the button. The camera will refocus. You will need good lighting though.

I'll try again and post more pics of it.
btw, do i need to wet the molt ???

 

[elportoed]

No, I think the molt that you posted is good enough.

alright, gonna get some pics now,really cant wait..

 

[Tang]

This is wat i can only get..

really need to consider to getting a SLR..
(with macro lense of coz)

i'm gonna dare to say its a female. from what I could make out, your T has a slit right between the booklungs, just like mine does.

 

[Tang]

Thanks ghost,
I was hoping for a female tho

 

[aluras]

I think its hard telling what it is. I wouldnt get too stoked yet, it could be either or. I thought it was male at first then looked closer and yeah your right ghost that it looks like a slit there,,,,but I have had a G.pulchripes I swore was female and it molted out a MM.........the closer the better as far as the pic goes....and lets get some other opinions.:clap:

hi mate - that chaco

This is wat i can only get..

took your shots into picasa for some zooming in - it's a bit blurry, but i'm gonna say male. i don't see spermathecae anywhere there.
hope you don't mind that i worked your pix.

from pic one - looked pretty female here

but.. from pic 2 (which is a lot clearer, to me) - looks like the flap that seemed to point to spermathecae was a trick of the light.

or have i completely lost the plot?

 

[Mr. Irminia]

im gonna have to go male on this one. I really dont see any kind of flap in these pics , but im no expert either.

 

[MichiganReptiles]

I couldn't tell anything from the first pic, but the second one looks male to me.

 

[Tang]

Haiz....
Hoping a gal...but gonna need a male too...

Still got chances...there's another chaco molted..lol
