[QUOTE="Poec54, post: 39188, member: 3524"] You can vent sex Poecs pretty accurately at around 2". Males are obvious. Juvenile ornata males fade the fastest of any Poec. Dorsally they get more brown, the folium is black, and the carapace loses the two black stripes and becomes mostly one color. Males still have vivid contrast ventrally. Young female ornata develop more contrast dorsally & their folium lightens. BTW, ornata have the worst reputation in group cages of any Poec. They can start cannibalizing at 2nd instar. Surprising, since the closely-related rufilata is one of the better ones. [/QUOTE]
