I went to check on my Ts this evening and found that my P. chordatus had just molted :D When she was up on the side of the tank the other day, I decided I am pretty sure she is female... but I don't know how to tell on the molt?

And then, I noticed that my largest P. murinus had molted too! When I pulled the molt, it was hard already so I am not sure when he actually did it... darn his webbed up funnel! lol

But I am always excited about new molts! The P. chordatus molt has a LS of 3" and the P. murinus is 2.5"... I have had the murinus since he had a LS of .5-.75, and this is the chordatus' first molt with me.

And, of course.. pictures!




(I wasn't in the mood to really mess with him haha)

and the molts..


Are the parts needed to sex them viable on either, do ya think?

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

:D

I love your photos. Great job! The font adds a nice touch.

I agree - P. murinus (OBT) is one of my favorite T's as well, though I was hesitant to get an OBT for a long time. I am happy to say I own one now.

Thanks! :)

Aidan is my "heart T" lol He was the first T I ever bought for myself (and the 2nd and a half - lol - that I had ever owned when I got him)... and he's just awesome. I can't wait for my other two OBTs to grow up!

Very nice cousins you've got there! Gorgeous. OBT is definitely one I couldn't live without.

Thank ya!

I wish I could get Aidan out for a good picture... I got a better look at him, but couldn't get a picture, and he is a VERY deep reddish orange. I need to change his enclosure here soon, so that should be a good opportunity for some pics.. and hopefully to see his/her underside to decide what he/she really is! lol

I am excited about how much darker Rise got! I really love the DCF of P. chordatus
