The slings are no longer an option. She's big (about 2" body) and I'm worried that she may be old but just small. I can also buy a sub - adult M. balfouri from a person who breeds them at almost the same price and I can compare it with the sexually matured males and females so I can pick a female (But I'm not very good at sexing balfouries). I don't know why I like the gigas so much. They keep her in a small box with almost no substrate and she's been like this for several months. I really want to save her and make her a beautiful terrarium with a pond. I don't know what to do. The balfouri breader keeps the Ts in a basement and it's really dark in there so I'm not sure I will be able to sex the T properly. I can ask him if we can go outside in the light but I'm still not sure. What do you think? Gigas or balfouri?</p></blockquote><p></p>
