Penultimate schmenultimate!

Aidan doesn't believe in such things as "maturing" apparently

I went to feed him tonight... and was wondering how he was managing to be on both ends of a 6" tunnel at the same time LOL

This molt was VERY shortly after his last (less than two months) so maybe NOW he is penultimate? I am VERY sure there are no hooks and no bulbs! :?

And we all still agree he is IS a he, right?

Oh well! This just means more time with my favourite boy

(Sorry Ariel LOL)

Ah, you know what they say, it takes men forever to grow up.

Psssh don't apologize, I'm glad you get to have him around longer, plus I'd really rather Zeni molted first anyways, and I think she was recently molted when I got her in october.

Although...in all honestly, this is a really hard species for me to sex, but here are some ventral shots of Zeni to compare.

(Zeni, 5" female P. murinus)

 

[Teal]

Okay... they look pretty similar, or is it just me? Now I am REALLY confused! lol

This is my female.. or atleast, I think she's female?!

Well Jairi, you might want to reconsider Aiden's name......I personally think that's a girl.....but it's a tough call. I know this is probably a dumb question, but do you still have the molt??? By now it should be pretty easy to sex.

 

[codykrr]

p. murinus is a hard one to ventrally sex period....ifyou have the moltyou should take a picture of the inside of the abdomen.

 

[Teal]

Silly boys.. of course I tried to sex the molt

But how convenient was it that there was a chunk missing in just the right spot? :wall:

Cody, do you have any guesses on the two I posted? Ariel's Zeni is a female for sure, but if you can guess on either of my two I'd be happy haha

Oh, and Aidan will keep the name regardless lol

I have the molt right before this one... I should see if I can get a guess on that one.

 

[Steve Calceatum]

Well I did say it was a dumb question, LOL. It's like the old addage: "Best sit in silence and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt." Only in a reverse way.......much rather look stupid and ask than to assume and be made a fool by my own inaction.

And yeah, try sexing with the previous molt......silly girl!!! ;P

 

[Teal]

This is from his previous molt several months ago... let me know if you can tell anything from it, or if I need better pictures

 

[Steve Calceatum]

You probably need a better pic.......

 

[Teal]

Yeah, I thought so... my camera wasn't cooperating for some reason. I'll mess with it again later!

 

[codykrr]

ok the last pic is female.

but the first pic is hard to tell

 

[codykrr]

will add, that i was refering to the last ventral pic is female. i cant tell on the molt pic at all. maybe a better pic. and diffrent angle. you should take the pic from behind the abdomen .

 

[Teal]

LOL duh! I knew there was something funny about the way I was taking pictures of it!
