Basically I got a call last night from a pet store I use to work. A friend told me a guy had been trying to get rid of a 6" unsexed C. crawshayi and 3" unsexed P. regalis (I was also told it was four years old lol). He told me he wanted $90 for both the T's and three cages. I could tell the guy didn't know what he was talking about so, I arranged to meet up and see them today. I was told he bred reptiles and had gotten these with a trade.
After seeing what he had and the horrid conditions they were being kept in I snatched them up and ran home.

I instantly new the C. crawshayi was female:



The P. regalis turned out to be a P. ornata and its about 3". Bottom pic is the KK it came in:8o :



Here are some ventral shots. Looks male to me but I have a hard time sexing pokies ventrally:



Anyway I think I got a great deal and saved a couple T's in the process.

Wow, right place at the right time, eh? I'm very excited for you, and really happy to see that they're getting a nice, new home. They're both beautiful!
