Folks,
I indicated earlier tonight (in my Welcome Lounge posting) that within my collection I had 6.4 (blue phase) T. s. pickeringi.
Well in truth, I am not quite so sure !!
I acquired the animals as such, but I am beginning to suspect that I have a mix of T.s.p. and T. ordinoides.
I realise that I need to complete some scale counts to be sure, but (as with advancing age comes failing sight !), that is going to have to wait until each of the little beasties next has a shed (and I get myself a very effective magnifying- glass) ! Of course, it will also be beneficial to have the physical evidence of the shed to retain in the individual specimen's records.
I know some of you have already struggled with this problem, so if any of you out there have words of wisdom to impart I am more then ready to receive.
(And, yes, the specimens originated from "Bob" !!),
Cheers,
Brian.
