Hadogenes?

Hello all today i got myself a Hadogens i blieve it is a troglodytes the petshop guy says its a H.paucidens but im unsure what do you all think either way its a cute little thing hes smaller than a dime lolThats my wife holding it she has tiny hands if that gives you an idea of how tiny it is

You're probably going to have this one for a while.

Sure hope so

I THINK that's a H. Troglodytes.
And a very cute one:)


THIS is a H. Paucidens :



You can clearly see the yellow banding that is a clear indicator of Hadogenes Paucidens.
And they have slow metabolisms, so, it will take quite a while for it to grow up:)
I personally love that they Live so long.

No they do not. My initial reaction was based on it's body and color.
And I did not know this, I saw young Paucidens with the yellow banding already in place, but not knowing that they do not have them right away.

And I will rephrase it to "I THINK" it's H. Troglodytes, but I must concede it could be H. Paucidens as well.

I wil look for more characteristics to better support my guess.

I decided to go ahead and redo its enclosure all the rocks are hot glued like crazy lol
Got it to eat last night also ate a fairly large cricket for its size and still is super skinny and flat its crazy lol

Looks great:)
