its about 3cm , there is another bigger one about 8cm wich seems to be getting browner and browner ,from what i hear there is not much sexual dirmorphism with borneo blacks at smaller size ?

the bigger one ,it has molted since then:

I read the same thing. But there is a distinct difference between my slings. Some more brown than the others. I have to rehouse them shortly so will get some pics.

My borneo black female also molted this week! She is simply stunning. She almost absorbs light, has this magnificent jet black colouration.

Will get a pic soon.

How big is your female ?
They are a stunning specie , hope some of mine turn out female !

Look for a pic of her at the top of this page. Taken before this molt. She was about 15-16cm. Definitely bigger now. Only comes out late at night though, so waiting for a nice pic.

Had a male lined up for her, but he died yesterday...

Seen that pic , mine are very shy aswell , even if I just shine the torch they gone !

If that brownish one turns out to be male will let you know :thumbsup:
