Hi,
Well it turns out Shadowspider was right (naturally I should have known
) but it seems I have myself a quick change artist - her bum darkened slightly but still looked pink when I shone the torch on it even a couple of days ago.
Then I came though on Friday afternoon to this;
Now for the Question.
If you look on her legs just below the knees you can see what look to be slashes in her skin.:eek:
I know they aren't splits because there is no leaking and they are on all the legs I could see ( don't want to disturb her).
Are these like "expansion panels" so that her legs can be narrow then expand once the molt is complete or are they something else? - I've never noticed them before at all but that counts for naught.
It took ages but I managed to get some good(ish) closeups showing their location and some of the finer detail.
You can see a diagonal one on the knee and the vertical ones on the leg;
And here is the best close up I could get - You have no idea how hard this was to get with a cruddy camera and not being able to move her from the dark corner of the tank - I ended up using striplights,spotlights and a drunken friend holding two torches to try and get enough light for it to even focus.
So what are they and how daft am I for not having noticed them before?
And would anyone be intrested in pictures of the sexing criteria from the shed skin If I can get a decent picture?
