Calcium Sacks...

fimboed Apr 22, 2005 04:42 PM

Do both male and females have calcium sacks? Are they something that I want to see on my giants? If they don't have them now, does that mean they need more calcium? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm by no means an expert but my male henkel has little calcium sacks. If you do not see them on the female and you are trying to breed her or she is laying eggs, then she definitely needs more calcium.

Yeah, both males and females have them and the bigger they are the better. I think i see them on my male lineastus but i dont see them on my sikorae, if anyone knows where how to find them on sikorae.

The calcium sacks are right at the base of the neck near the shoulders. They should be easily visible.
