Do you have any of those in the arsenal of stuff you have Pat?

[Patrick Long]

No not yet, I have a buddy that is getting rid of a pair, hoping to scope up on that.

Here is a microscope pic of the molt. Anyone want to change their answer or know now by seeing this?

Question?

I was wondering why you do the sexing via the external ventral view as opposed to using the interior shot of the molted skin?

Just curious.

It is a male if I'm remembering correctly. it doesn't have the belly thingy

[Boanerges]

Everyone who said male is correct. The patch of black hairs above the epigastric furrow confirms it to be male. In the the micro shot you can see no lady parts. Thanks everyone for playing At least if a few people play or want to learn I don't feel like a complete dork for posting these things-lol

Hi,

It is a male if I'm remembering correctly. it doesn't have the belly thingy

Indeed.

I had no idea about he patch of black hair - I was just going by the size of the abdomen.

But if I had seen this in the close up shot I would have changed my mind;

I am trying to learn how to sex them as accurately as possible by doing the external ventral way for my own information really. Just to learn something new. Microscoping the molts is getting eaiser for me so I am trying to learn this way also. It is hard to do accurately so I will always micro the molts to be certain.

The molted skin is the BEST way to do it IMO. The little ones I micro and the bigger molts you can see with the naked eye.

I think Derek It just boils down to I really am a dork-lol
