TH Motley Ghosts..... pre-shed....DUW

rainbowsrus Jun 25, 2008 07:52 PM

Well, after a few days of crawling around in the tub with daily paper changes they've cleaned up nicely. I took them out for some quick pics and a round of sexing. Just for a count, I put them back together as before. Final tally was very female heavy, visual tail shape/size confirmed by palpation. I did the TH's first and after the first four being females was beginning to second guess myself then found the lone TH male, clearly a male, phew...

1.5 TH Motley Ghosts (Hypo, Motley, het Anery)
4.6 DH Ghosts

some pics....

The TH Motley Ghosts...





(the only Male TH Motley Ghost)

and a few of the DH ghosts.....





I'll be sure to take more and better pics once they shed!!

Well DUH, I want to keep at least 1.1 of the TH's. The sexual distribution made one part of the decision easy, once they shed out I'll have to decide on what female(s) to keep.
