>>>>That's a female too, right Josh?

>>Yes sir!


Has anyone else noticed that ALL of the Mex Mex with high saddles that do not reach their ventrals are females?
I am not saying that all female Mex Mex have this trait, but all of the Mex Mex that show this ARE females......The specimens with saddles that point down and touch their ventrals are both males and females...

I don't know if this is dimorphism or not, but I would like to see a male with high saddles....So if anyone has one could you post a picture of him?

All of these females have high saddles......

Another thing I've noticed is that the classic males generally look nicer, cleaner & brighter than the females.....But I've seen some REAL NICE females with awesome coloration too....
