Rupert's gonopores250 viewsThis is a pic of my PP Rupert's gonopores. So Rupert is a girl! She's a crab I adopted that already had a name, but I'm also guilty of naming them before sexing them. I got the picture by holding the camera under her and waiting for her to pop out, it took several tries before I got a good shot. I used photoshop to circle the gonopores.
