You need to first resize your pictures, I think it's like 640 X 480 or 80 KB, or something like that...
Click "Post Reply", then underneath the box you type in is a blue text that says "Upload attachment", click that, then click "Browse..." then go to where your photos are on your computer, and double-click the one you want, then click "Add the file". Then you have to put your cursor where in your text you want the picture to go, then click "Place inline". And then do it again. And again. Until you have up to 10 pictures loaded.

Good luck. We want to see!

this my irian jaya bts aint she beautiful!

That's a Merauke
And a nice looking one at that

[UroFreak13]

Yup merauke, very cute

[Susann]

Listen to the Merauke Mama, that's a Merauke.

Remind me again; do you know how old she is? Who did you buy it from, that didn't know it's not an IJ? Do you know anything about her history?
Looks like she's missing a few toes, not that it'll affect her at all.

If you could take a shot from straight up above, where she's as straight as possible and where we can see all of her, whole tail and all, we might be able to guess if it really is a girl. If you want.

Congratulations! Good looking Merauke!

Listen to me first though

Have you got a close up of her face? I can't tell and it might be just food on her face, but her mouth looks a bit unhealthy in these pictures. Again, it could be the blurriness of the photo and just a food-face, but best be sure.

[Toria Dawn]

She's a cutie! What's her name??

[Susann]

her mouth looks a bit unhealthy

...I thought the same thing... with the toes and all too. Let's see if we can see some more pictures of her.

[IchliebeTiere]

I hope you really enjoy your new BTS, she's a beauty!

[UroFreak13]

Mouth nose and eye, I wouldn't really say the toe has anything to do with it , but that's just me

[Susann]

Let's just wait and see if we can see some more pictures from curtbone before we go making them worried if there's no reason.

You may be getting out of your depth here.

Use the search function and you will see there are several threads linking the correlation between mouth, nose, eye and toe problems in Indonesian species.

I know what' that's like.

What do you mean out of my depth? Like out of my experience range, because I dealt with one that had very similar conditions

No. It was because you wrote "I wouldn't really say the toe has anything to do with it". As I suggested, search out previous threads from the past few years when this subject has been discussed in depth and you will see that toe issues should not be mandatorily ruled out.

The possibility of what may be a problem was brought to light by experienced members; it isn't particularly helpful to dismiss their concerns without more support than "but that's just me".
