Meet...aw crap, I don't know its name, another critter was dropped in my lap.

[The Snark]

Interesting naming convention. Aw Crap, meet Oh Snit, our cat.

They drop their tails easily unfortunately, its name is Senor Stumpy.

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

Maybe "Forest Stump"?

 

[The Snark]

"Forest Stump"?

Forrest. ? Looking at that pathetic dangle of a tail he had, he's better off without it. Come to think of it, Quasimodo the empennage challenged does come to mind.

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

He runs pretty fast, though. And his tail is NOT pathetic! Just non-existent.

 

[Thistles]

This species does not regrow dropped tails. He's gonna be a frog-butt for life.

Should be big enough to sex, by the way. Any manly bulges between the back legs?

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

yeah, I knew they don't regenerate. I kinda think it adds to its charm. Though I'd still prefer that it had kept the taol.

Yannoe, I've never bothered to take a look in the direction of sexing it. I hope it is a male.

 

[The Snark]

Maybe "Forest Stump"?

Or Sis's catatonic dog that named himself: Izzy Ded NewfLab

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

I got a ventral shot, but I'm unsure if it is good enough for the purpose of sexing. I don't see any femoral pores, myself, so it may be a female.
Of more interest to me at the moment are those "spurs" on either side of the vent. Normal?

 

[Thistles]

The cloacal spurs are normal, yeah. Looks female to me, but the pores are very small in this species and if it’s a male the bulge will be very obvious as it gets older. Other people will be better at this than me, though.

 

[CWilson1351]

I'd say female. I got what turned out to be a male a month before you started this. He is noticably male too, the punk spreads out on the front glass regularly So comparing the two I'd say you have a little girl.

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

I'm inclined to agree. I'd prefer a male, but really either way is fine with me.

 

[schmiggle]

I'm inclined to agree. I'd prefer a male, but really either way is fine with me.

You shouldn't breed it anyway--the babies will have stumps for tails!

And what is wrong with stump-tails? Tsk. Prejudice is such an ugly thing.

Looks to me like this little girl landed in high cotton when she caught your attention.

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

Well, I guess she is doing alright, considering I'd never kept one before and had to do research nearly spontaneously.

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

And another one. I notice that there is some stuck skin on her feet, I'll have to address that issue. She ain't gonna like it!

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

Finally got around to a rehouse. Not quite done, I will still be making a few tweaks. Not crazy about needing to use a full-screen lid, but I'll figure out a way to reduce the loss of humidity bit, possibly by using some plexiglass on the inside of the lid.

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

Well, it took three years to confirm the guesses in this thread, but after discovering this a few weeks ago, I think it is as pretty safe bet that it is a female.
