This is one of the two females that I got from Mike. They are gorgeous lents. Unfortunately it was too much for one of them, and it died. Kind of lucky in a way that they were both females. Just need to get a male now. We'll see how that works out. Hopefully this little lady will pull around and beef up. She is still teeter tottery...
 
NICE lenticulata..;)
 
Sorry about the other lent. Hope this one pulls through for you!
 
Guess I need to get some dorsal shots then...I am actually torn on this matter. Part of me does think its female, but there are several things that lead me to think male as well.

Lents are tough because of the male's coloring and their dorsals being an overall light, whitish color. Females will have a distinct white stripe however. The lack of a distinct stripe and the "belly striations" say male.
 
good to see you upping your collection
