Yes, Trr = T. rugosa rugosa
Tra= T. rugosa aspera
Trp= T. rugosa palarra
and Trk= T. rugosa konowi The T. = Tiliqua or Trachidosaurus.
I like the colour from your Trr # 3, its a nice dark head, I think this one will be stunning in a few months, Hope you will keep
posting some pictures of this one (and the others ofcourse).
Was the Trp #1 your first from this year, I mean the one we did see 3 weeks ago?

Re: Rare birth
Rolf,
Sorry to hear that...hope the new male takes soon...getting slugs is FAR better then I have had so far anyway!
Hope you have TRA twins next year! Do you have the larger variety of TRA? I forget...

It's a shame - got no Tra !![]()
I lost my male for unknown reason (sudden death) two years ago and was not able to find a male that is accepted by my females.
So I got only Tra slugs...
I hate this![]()

Re: Rare birth
Yes Fred, you saw this one, and I think the others too.
Only the Trk were born later...
Jas, usually I got 3 to 4 babies from one of my female - better than twins
I keep 4 females, two phenotypes.

Re: Rare birth
it was just the "birth shedding", still the same....
Most changes will appear with the first real shedding after hibernation.

I think that would be a little early, they only go in for 4 to 8 weeks that whould mean you need to wake them up in the middel of the dark winter.
