here are some shots of my D mexicanus, i am not sure of gender. it was born to my large female in 2000. she had given birth to 5 babies, no 'slugs', each measuring about 5 inches.this is my only remaining mexicanus, i had sold 2 of the babies and decided to take 2 to IAD but upon bad advice i kept them too cold and they perished. that left me with 1 baby and the mother-the mother died about 2 years ago. baby is doing fine and i dug 'her' up recently to check on her and get some shots of her. she is now 10" long, that puts her growth at 1" per year. i keep 'her' at room temp in about 4" of soil in a planted terrarium.
i am not sure if this species can be sexed by their vents-but if so , here is 'hers'....any thoughts???
finally after replanting the terrarium(and thus recompacting the soil) i put 'her' back in and it took less than 30 seconds for 'her' to burrow down...
