Keith Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Looks like it never shed the skin on its abdomen, or it did shed but mabye the molt got messed up in the process. Could you get a picture of the underside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
island reptiles Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ill see if I can find it again I forgot what bin It was put in lol but the abdomen is a wreck looks like it fell down a few flights of stairs the reason I think it molted is because of the shine and color they get once they become adults the size didnt play into my thinking because I have a ton of xxl nymphs that are bigger then other adults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Both those females are bizarre! But nice finds never seen any like them before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
island reptiles Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 im almost tempted to seperate them and selective breed but I just dont have the room it cant be from being inbred we have about 15 different blood lines and we add in new blood 4-5 times a year theres alot of strange coloring going on with some of the females mostly markings on the pronotom and some of the males are extremely large Im wondering if somewhere along the lines there were hybirds mixed in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
