Scaly Bark Watermelons? [View all]

Anyone have experience growing these? Trying some this year for the first time, and having trouble telling when they're ripe. The usual thumping, and underside check doesn't seem to apply. I hate to cut up any more that look/sound like a good one I would buy at the grocery, to find they are totally unripe.

My usual Ali Baba's and Crimson Sweets are plugging right along, should be able to be picking in the next month.
