I guess you're the only one whose ever looked at their retic's spurs before. I thought it was pretty easy question.

other people's experiences. Yeah, she did pretty much cover everything but I'm sure other people have had some different experiences. And now since you said don't ask, you know I have to.

Well,.. I really wasn't referring to "spurs", anyway. But male retics that are young can have very tiny and recessed spurs and can easily mistaken as a female. Easily. So the only way to really be sure is to either "roll" them (pop the hemipenes) when they're young,.. OR probe them when they're older, or just wait for the overall size to play a factor, lol.

LOL! Thanks for the "thank you," Cottonmouth.

And, thanks for saying I covered it so well, Brian! That means a lot coming from you.

You two both made my day!

Absolutely. Hey, 20 years experience is 20 years experience and it shows.
