Ha ha, They have been housed together for the past year, So she may be (I'll keep my fingers crossed), when I put her in the cage I thought she looked it. Just because of the shape of her body I have never seen a gravid Pts, but she looked like something was in there. She also ate the day before the photo so it may just be food.

iv seen more then 20 gravid imports, thats how they look, the lump starts right under the front legs, maybe you can palpate them at this stage. anyway aim glad to hear they are well aclimated, less stress involved.

Hmm where did you get that pair? They both look like males to me? My females are much smaller than the males, yours look comparable.

[lostwithin]

Hi, they may very well be both males, I bought the pair knowing the previous owner was unsure of the sex, he was told they were a pair, but was doubtful , I have never had other together too compare with, so I’m Hoping they are a pair, I've heard males will fight if caged together, and they were at one point kept in a small cage without problems, and I have yet too see any aggression between them. For that reason alone I assumed they were either a pair, or 2 females, I'm hoping pair due too wishful thinking, ha ha ha, but also they seem too have different head shapes, one has a wider scull. And that seems too be one way of sexing them.

Hey Congrats dude I know how bad you wanted them, they look great and so does the cage. Good luck with them.

I always found males much larger than females, and bulkier. Iam not a huge expert with these guys, but I would say you have 2 males.
