This young was sold and appear to be a female from what I know.

And by New Year's Eve I just found my 2nd baby in the tank !! What a way to end the year on a positive note!!
Well this one look really young...which makes me belive the other one was much older...this one is really tiny...probably has hatch just a few days ago!!
Pictures will follow!!!
Cheers

Hi Maureen!!

Thanks a lot!!

I am quite surprise with this species, both male and female spend quite a extended time on the ground unlike S. nigropunctatus that just like to hang on the right and back side of the tank.

S. difficilis spend either time on the left side of the tank or in the middle of it and on the ground where they can find a lot of hidding place as well. Actually the female is the one spending the most time on the ground, I often see her underneath some bark piece on the ground...the male like to stand on the left side of the tank, and also in the front glass where a piece of bark is on the ground, it is a place where I know there are a lot of microfauna

Anyway it is very nice to compare their behaviour that differ quite well between the 2 species.

Hi!
today I was doing 1-2 minor changes in the tank of the adult and here I saw a 3rd young one, obviously older and bigger than my last one...around 4-5cm!!
I haven't managed to catch him/her but I ll try!!!
I wonder how many other youngs are in there!!

Cheers
Yann
