It's only like 2" so I think it's near a molt, but it's a rosea for sure.

 

[pearson340]

my MM rosie

This is my little Oscar who I got on sunday from my sister. He (or she!) is one of the babies that my sister kept (as opposed to sold) when her T laid eggs after she bought it.

He's about a year old, so around a quarter to half the size of an adult, and he's a little darling.

I handled him for the first time today (walked on to my hand by his own free will), and he is wonderful.

(I'll be using a different substrate soon. C: )

Are you sure it is a G.rosea?

 

[Nathan Dorian]

Uh, yes?

The Mother is a G. rosea, he is a G. rosea.

Quite a few other T owners have seen Oscar and said nothing about him not looking like a G. rosea.

To me Oscar looks like a she. Any one else think so?

 

[squeaky10199]

cant really tell but it looks a bit young still from the pictures. it doesnt have much coloration yet so you wont be able to tell unless you scope the next molt. i had a rosea named oscar too! haha he was mature and then passed.

 

[Nathan Dorian]

Well Oscar is really very small right now, as you can see by looking at him compared to that toilet tube roll.

But yes, I plan to try and get him sexed when he next has a molt. C:

He really could actually be male or female, it is an absolute mystery to me. XD If he is indeed a she, a name change shall be in order.
