is this gynandromorph?

got her as a confirmed female and noticed this after her molt 2 weeks ago

Uhhhh, highly likely. What species?

Additional photos of this would definitely be welcomed! Very neat to see, certainly not an everyday type of occurrence!

heres some pics from the top, idk why my qualitys so bad but it looks like she only has the split colors on the bottom. It even looks like the bottom of her feet are different colors on each side.

Only seen a few - they always had dorsal split down the middle too

The only way to know for sure before it is fully grown is if you examine the shed molt and see half of the spermathecae.

Really cool to see!! Would be awesome to confirm - is there any difference from the inside of the molt? Like would they have the spemathecae or not? Would love to see how it looks if ever you could get look at an intact molt! Will need to research more on this as I have too many questions now.

Edit: never mind, learned the different with hermaphrodite and gynandromorph but very cool none the less!

i regret looking that up

I knew what it was and still has to look it up to see what you did, regret it as well

Interesting T, thanks for sharing. I'd like to know what the moult looks like too.

Still sounds rough paying female price for a two gender t. But interesting too look at for sure !!!

Many people pay a premium for that...


I often wonder if such specimens are capable of reproduction? I can only guess it would be harder for the female organs to manage, but the male organs, fertile and able? Maybe the chemicals runnjng through its body leans more male or female and they wouldnt mate? So many questions.

I found a short PDF about how they tried introducing a p.murinus gynandromorph partially mature male to four separate females and it was rejected as they believe showed female anatomy as well. It would be really interesting to see, even though ultimately trying to breed them wouldn't seem like the best idea but..for science! Though it's never been successful before.

I'd imagine if OP's was confirmed female would mean they've seen the molt as well. Really really curious to see updates in the future.
