Hi everyone, i either got very lucky or very unlucky.

Bought as T. puriens female, turned out as a male and not sure whether its puriens or not. Anyways. Here in brasil no one has puriens so if its a male i am doomed. However, today i met the first person down here that has an adult scorfa that just went through molt. After seeing many pics i think this male might be scorfa too.

Plz help me out. here are some pics of him in the penultimate. It became adult male last month. I will post some pics of him with the boxing gloves and all later on, but for now i have this pic of it on penultimate.

Thanks for you time.

That doesn't look like any P.Scrofa I've seen, I may be mistaken, but here's my mature male P.Scrofa....

I JUST had that same problem last month. My G. rosea sling molted into a nice 2.5" P. scrofa male. Just from the pics I'd have to that it is not a P. scrofa. I'd say it's T. puriens.
