[QUOTE="Zaiaku, post: 76980, member: 5884"] Alright, Well I looked through quite a few threads and have seen many molt pictures and others of the underside of the T's. Say my little N. Chromatus is on the glass, what would I be looking for on the underside? I assume the general area to look is where you'd look on a molt yes? but what would I see male vs Female? and how old/big do they usually have to be for this method to work? Edit/update: ok well she decided she'd be photogenic and give me a peek. I hope the pictures are clear enough. After reading the article MassExodus linked me I don't see any of the epiandrous fussilae, but then again this would literally be my first attempt at this and the T may be too young? Not sure. Please let me know what you guys think. Edit/update #2 lol sorry about all the updates and such to this post. Guess I'm just excited to be actually diving into this. So after reading a few more articles about ventral gender identification, and a few youtube video (notably this one by jon3800 [MEDIA=youtube]S6vbduw-cCw[/MEDIA] ) I think my little N. Chromatus is Female. I would LOVE others view on this AND I definitely still plan to be opening up molt to check that out as well and will definitely post those up for scrutiny and conformation as well.
