I picked up a really nice pair of red-foots from a fellow forum member tonight. The male really stands out to me. He is very friendly with absolutely no pyramiding at all, he is about 9" scl. His head is very yellow with little hints of orange. His neck also has yellow patches that I've never seen before on other red-foots.
The female is about 7.5" scl and a little shy. She is very pretty too. I noticed almost immediately that they had the same eye trait that I had posted about previously. I'm getting more and more convinced that the "eye ring" occurs in males. I haven't seen a female with this ring as of yet.
Another thing, the male's front legs have that "thumb scale" that I've seen on a lot of cherry-heads and yellow-foots. My other males do not have this scale. Anyway, here they are.....
Male with "eye rings."
Male.
Female with completely dark eye.
