Did a bit of maintenance on the enclosure tonight - putting some bamboo in there.

So took the chance to take a picture, about 5" now, may be just under. This is the one that came off graham. it has shed since we got it so the gammy leg is nearly full size now.
I say it... we thing it's a girl, we thought we could see an epigastric furrow but not 100%, that part of the exuvium was a bit screwed up. will hopefully know better on the next shed.

anyway, here 'she'? is...

Lots of them get purplish :O

All my possible males are unknwon until I see hooks/ bulbs. Living in denial possibly but oh well. Fingers crossed for a girl!

Is gorgeous anyway!
