Definitive Saharan Characters?

maneatingorchid May 08, 2004 12:00 PM

I ordered a Mali Uro female from a store, and she arrived two days ago. She's big, fat, healthy, friendly and eating like a pig. But...she looks almost like a Saharan Uro. Is there a specific way to know if she is a saharan, like a tell-tale sign? Once I get some pics, I'll post them.

Have you looked over the photos on Doug Dix's site? Those might help you. Take a careful look at the tail on yours. A Saharan has a much longer and slimmer tail than a Mali. Depending on age and gender, too, you can tell by looking at the belly colors.
