Ok so I need, help again. BTW, thanks to all that are willing to go out of their way to help a newbie care for these great little creatures. I really do appreciate it.
My problem is this: My tinc I have had since May. At the time when I got him I was told that he was six weeks out so now he would be about 7 months? In this time that I have had him, he has grown, but not much. He eats sometimes 30 flies a day (depending on how many escape before I can close the culture) and has never had an issue with not eating. I would think he would have grown more than he has by now and I hear that tincs are usually a larger species. Am I wrong in this? How bis is he supposed to get and about how big should he be now? My leuc who is months behind him in age is the same size as him and MUCH fatter. I know that this is partially because of the body type, the two are very different.
Right now he is pushing an inch if he's lucky. I got the measuring tape in there yesterday and I would say (cant get it too close to him to be acurate) that he is more like 3/4 of an inch.
Am I being paranoid or should I find someone that can do a fecal? Is it possible that he could have parisites and his body is not able to absorb as much as it should be? I really want him to be healthy and I would feel terrible if he has been sick all this time and I didn't know. Like I said though, he is active, eats a lot, and shows no signs of anything wrong that I know of.
He did come from a questional background as I obtained him from a pet shop that knew nothing about him and sold him as a "blue and black frog."
These are the pics I took of him today. I would LOVE opinions. Oh and also, when should I be able to sex him/her?
Thanks!
