no this is my 1st all together, ive had some experience with T's when i done animal care in college though

Great place to start, word of advice though, Salmon Pinks can get agressive as they grow, so take care in future handling.

yea i know ive done my research on them because i got it off a friend and to be honest i did get worried when he said it was a bird eater.
planning on getting 2 more when this ones grown a bit, going to get a maxican red knee and finally a cobalt blue because they are just so beautiful

The 4 white marks are likely the book lungs. Is it possible to sex that young? absolutely, but we'd need a very good picture.

Sexing via moult is a better option, so next time it Moults hang on to the shed and take some pics. Sexing is easiest from 5th moult on.
