Allright here they are, in order - Zipo, smelly Plinko and... well I dont have a name for it yet.. still working on the free range
 
Zipo and the newby are youngsters but smelly Plinko is HUGE, gotta be close to two feet! And yes Plinko smells, I posted about this yesterday: Smelly Melleri?!? Initially I thought it was the ratty reptarium Plinko arrived in, so I chucked that away. The smell lingered on, Gesang suggested that the smell is related to glands in the corners of their mouths that produce a smelly waxy gunk, particularly in large adults. I still think they are cool even if they smell

Me too! that is very interesting to know. I wonder if that could be a scent for a mating call? If so, would that be male or female? Gotta keep us posted when you determine Plinko's gender.
 
I THINK Plinko is female...reading melleri discovery and studying their photos has lead me to that conclusion. As far as Zipo goes I feel he's male, again based on what I've seen & read. I havent had much time yet with the newby so I have no idea

Thats a good point. Maybe you guys will crack the code on sexing melleris!
