Just a further heads up, eastern and western type localities are subject to change (or already have changed) into two respective SEPARATE species, doubtful they will be subspecies. Eastern type = Nephrurus husbandi. Western type = Nephrurus milii.

Enjoy.

LOL what if you dont know their localities?

 

[Rocket]

Morphology seems a little differentiated amongst the localities. Most in captivity are Nephrurus husbandi although there are breeders about with Nephrurus milii. If in doubt, assume N.husbandi but if you're anal and want to be a know-it-all, throw up a picture. As far as I know, mid-range animals such as SA type etc are still regarded as N.husbandi, can anybody elaborate?

ive had two hypo milii hatch in the last 24 hours and another two eggs in the incubator.

 

[Silverbrew]

are'nt the males lighter than the females?

 

[chickensnake]

are'nt the males lighter than the females?

I dont think so(but in saying this my male was WC on permit so im not sure) my male is jet black and my female is dessert sand red

Their colour varies, it has nothing to do with sex

 

[chickensnake]

Yeah didnt think so gex

My female Thick Tail has been gravid for 85 days, is this normal? How long should it take for her to drop? I just hope there not soft and she's egg bound and there stuck in her belly, it's her 1st time she's going on 2 years old in Feb 2011

 

[Smithers]

Gestation or being gravid is around 4-5 weeks Sivmaster Are you sure it's been that long? Has she possibly layed them in the enclosure and you have missed them and the next lot are coming through?? Try gong through the sand for eggs. If no eggs Im not sure about how she has carried them that long as Iv'e not heard of that before now. Hope someone else has an idea on possible scenario's to help out.

Best of Luck
