Do all Male T's have tibial hooks ?

probably a real noob question, I noticed that this little california black my co worker gave me has tibial hooks, now this one is much smaller than my New river, the new river doesnt have hooks....hmmm
darth skippy

only MATURE males have hooks and no, not all Ts will get them. sadly, i am not up on which species don't get them except for T blondi i believe does not get them.

Here's an old list - there's probably a more recent list somewhere but I'm too lazy to look.

Wow....I can't believe that, that  little T is an adult, it's so small...poor little guy. Thank you for the link also!!!

Here is more updated list.

Where did your co-worker find it?
Maybe it is time to for some education at work. Tell them to leave the T's in the wild. Most of them that are seen are males. They are starting to come out now to look for mates.

Oh boy, I just saw that Lucara, one of our Mod form T.us posted a complete list too. She's got the same as I have. Anyway, I leave it here. It can come useful for anyone.

Is anyone else having trouble with Lony's list?  I'm getting a bunch of some sort of code.

Yep he did get some by me :) told him its not a good thing snatch them out of the wild, it people do this it reduces the population and some day there will be no more! he understood and promised he wouldnt do it again :)

My co worker lives in Valley Springs, his neighbor was screaming for help, so he ran next door to find his elderly neighbor cornered by this little guy in her living room. He literally picked it up and took it home. Yesterday he said he wanted one because his kids love em, I gave him Ken's web address :) buy CB!
