Sexing T.Natans q

[martin]

Hey, I've kept T.natans for around 4 years now but have come to a dilemma.... I recently moved and limited my colony down to two. The problem now is, now I cant quite seem to remember which sex is which. Heres 2 pics of the remaining 2 of my colony, can anyone please remind me which ones male and which is female? Both are equal in size atm and are virgins.

Female?

Have you tried asking on the forum at gymnophiona.org? I think you'll get more response there. I'm impressed with your photos, though, it can't be easy photographing the tail underside of a caecilian!

Hey Jennifer,

I have tried searching through gymnophionas database and forum (from campus). But I am unfortunately having a lot of difficulty accessing that site so am unable to make any post there. Oh well, hopefully ill find out in a few months anyways since I've attempted to induce breeding. Thanks for the reply.

PS: Thanks for the pic compliment. They are rather difficult to capture... I ended up throwing on some extra lighting and doing lots of algae scrubbing to get the pics http://www.caudata.org/forum/clipart/happy.gif.
