Sexing Nebo Hierichonticus
Hi guys,
Just sharing on how i sex my Nebo hierichonticus this i have currently in my collection. Not sure if my technic is accurate but the sexual dimorphism that is observed cleverly will be the chela not closed hermetic in male specimen while female seems to be the opposite. Some photos that i took for your reference.
1) Older male in my collection
2) Newly molted adult male
3) Female adult, currently gravid
Your comments will be highly appreciated..

So sorry but this would be the clearest i could get since the female do not like to be disturb even a slightest....as you know the chela will always remain open in their agitated mode...

From the clear shots you have provided, I can imagine how the female's chela will fit nicely when it's closed in the relax position.
Thanks for sharing!
