As they are getting bigger, the black on the back is spreading out a LITTLE, but not nearly as much as what is seen in the parents they came from. Very odd. I would love some input on this from the community!

Thanks John! I will post new pics soon...

As a side note to the pictorial display, in regards to the toe-pads, I was wondering if anyone would venture a guess on sex? I think the Tinc on the left(large, heart-shaped toe-pads) is male, while the Tinc on the right has smaller more rounded toe-pads. Keep in mind they are approx. 4 months old now... I just think there are some early signs of sexual dimorphism.

I was able to sex out a male Citronella at less than 6 weeks out of the water because of its huge toe pads. However, one of its siblings that I kept which had small toe pads in comparison, turned out to be a male too but this was only apparent around month 9 or so. Therefore I would urge you to never judge a young tinc's sex early.
