Identifying T. q. graciliors

[jajeanpierre]

If I have a quadricornis that has red nails, is it definitely a gracilior? Has there ever been an accurately identified T. q. quadricornis that also had red nails? If so, how was it identified as a quad quad and not either a gracilior or a hybrid between the two?

Quit painting their nails….

CHEERS!

The further from import and a heavy parasite load, the deeper red the nails become.

Looks gracilior in that picture to me.

She's the mother of my babies hatched in August. She was imported gravid.

There is not data from every locality of T. q. quadricornis or T. q. gracilior to verify for sure, but I have never seen a T. q. quadricornis with red nails, or a T. q. gracilior without them.
