[ASA] Rhopalurus junceus caresheet Rhopalurus_junceus_sexing_by_GSscorpions82_200612

Males:
Apart from the slimmer body mass as compared to females, they have a noticeable "tooth" on the moveable finger (tarsus) with the fixed finger (tibia) slightly curved; resulting in a gap between the tibia and tarsus when the chela is fully closed.

Females:
They have bulkier body mass and their chela is able to close fully in a relax position.
The convex and concaves matches.[/color]

Significant sexual dimorphism of the chela begins at 6.instar:

With sufficient food, space and hides, yes you can. Along with ideal husbandry being met, cannibalism is greatly reduced when housing juvenile to sub-adults communally.

However, It is still not 100% fool proof.

My apologies for the late reply.

For what I have documented, 5.instar are usually between 3.5cm to 4.8cm.

5cm (in exact measurement) could be a 5th or 6th instar.

Delicontainer: floor diameter is about 8cm, height at about 10cm.
Corkbark's measurement can be estimated from above.

On a side note, with respect to the rest of the community, please take a couple of minutes and post a self-intro at the Introduction section.

Post by lazydonut Tue Sep 09, 2014 6:25 pm

Hey GS. Is there a difference in structure of the pectine teeth like in emps where males have longer ones vs females. I have a problem sexing some Rhopalurus as they are still young and pectinal tooth count for sexing is redundant.

thanks mate!

Hi lazydonut, sry I haven't pay attention to that, at least... the difference might not significantly noticeable, from my point of view...

I'll usually wait till it's around 6.instar to sex it via the method at post #1 Smile
