M. Balfouri suspect male communal of 3 is now $130


If you can take a dorsal picture of each one I can sex them all for you right now...but from what I can see in your pic they appear male. I can't say 100%, though because one of them appears to be lying on its side and the other has its legs drawn in.

The first 2 are definitely male....the last one not so sure because the lighting is throwing me off. I'm 50/50 on the last one but you definitely have 2 out of 3 as male. Did you use a flash on the last pic or are they all in natural light?
They are all natural light

Thank you for the help.

Casey is infinitely more intelligent than I, but I'm gonna weigh in because I also have a balfouri communal of three.

It seems to me like the first is a penultimate male, the second looks like a mature male (tibial hooks?) and the third is a sub adult male. If they were sac mates, they seem to have had slightly different growth rates.

They are all 1.75” to 2” dls specimens, so they are definitely still slings.
