Message: <blockquote data-quote="micheldied" data-source="post: 65812" data-attributes="member: 4088">Have you checked to see if it has any fang damage, or maybe something around the mouth area? It's skinny, but not that skinny. Possibly just molted (did they tell you when the last molt was?). Hopefully it's nothing severe. Try cutting a superworm in half and leaving it in there and see if it'll take that.By the way, I've heard of this species being found with young in the wild at this size, so it isn't that young (though obviously not near maximal size). I've never had a C. darlingi, or any of the horned baboons, but most Ts are pretty easy to sex by this size ventrally. Best would be to look up pictures on google, since explaining it may be confusing. If it molts you should sex it easily as well, females have a flap on the inside of the molt between the booklungs and by this size it should be pretty apparent (unless the molt is messed up).</blockquote>
