It was a lps pick up, just labeled pink toe.

I assumed it was A. Avic, after getting some pics of it with the camera flash I thought the bristles on the legs looked like a. metallica but figured that was just me being a noob. Been browsing through avic pics, but it's not really helping at all, so many similarities.

I'm hoping your right on female tho, that was my thoughts but I'm still working on a the vent sexing thing. Going to try to look for spermateca when it molts. If it ended up being a mm I'd feel bad not sending him out to breed but wouldn't want to send out an un-ID'd avic, with all the mess I've been reading about with this genus.

Rehoused my LP and one of my Vagans slings tonight.

This little thing has given me the hardest time rehousing out of all my T's so far. He kept wedging himself down into his burrow and I had to dig out around him before he finally ran out and I snapped this pic. A couple laps around my hand and then quickly hid in his new deli cup.

That's what I was thinking. Seems to be a good amount of people breeding these guys so hopefully won't have too hard of a time finding him a lady once he matures.

Yeah there a bunch of females out there that be waiting for him, I know where a really nice mature female is at a LPS he has had her for many years I even took a mature male I had there once 3 years ago I reckon try get a sac but she molted, anyhow I,m sure he can spread his genes

New enclosure for my avic is finally done(there will be a water dish when I put the spider in there). Very happy with how it came out.

So it turns out what I thought was an LP is actually a B. auratum

Thank you, auratum is def a great looking T. Still can't help but be slightly disappointed, really wanted an LP. The toad has gotten much bigger since then. He was probably smaller than my thumbnail then, now he's pushing 2". Luckily I've got him on mostly dubias and lats now, he's a bottomless pit.
