Message: <blockquote data-quote="Psyrocke" data-source="post: 79249" data-attributes="member: 4547">I know the best way is to check the molts, but as neither of these guys have provided such, I figued I'd check and hone my ventral sexing skills while I wait. First up is Miwi, the Tappinauchenius violaceus. It is approximately 1.5" (slightly bigger than 1", but definitely bigger than 1"). I am guessing Miwi is male? Any other thoughts/ideas? I know this pic isn't the best but currently my resources are limited <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />[ATTACH=full]16617[/ATTACH]Next up is Balthazzar. It 'stands' at 1". I am guessing female.[ATTACH=full]16618[/ATTACH]I also totally admit that I could be completely wrong..so please help enlighten me if you can!
