"dont worry madge-youre soaking in it".....looks about right. i was told by a dealer something that seems to work fairly easy too - and now you know the genders of what you have there you can use that knowledge to reinforce this method - there is dimorphism in the heads of the genders and they can be sexed by comparing heads. females have shorter more triangular heads and males longer more rectangular (seems to look as if their paratoids are bigger/longer)-i was told this works well for all tylos.
