Aragorn

This is Aragorn, he's still a baby, about 1.5". Everyone seems to think he's a Nhandu chromatus.
@Casey K

Even more surprising with chromatus...dandelions grow slower, I think. I get chromatus (and all Nhandu really) to molt every 24-28 days when small (till over an inch)...I've never bred them (this week), so I am not familiar with how long they stay 1i, but three months sounds astoundingly long.
 
@cold blood yes! They took forever!!! Idk why. I had around 1500 and only about 100 made it. Poor babies. Well, I suppose it's better than none at all. I produced a versie sac but they were all bad (unfertilized).
 
@Casey K

Damn, that sucks on both fronts....1500, eh? That's a mighty sac. how big was your female. The one I am pairing is on the smaller side, she's just over 5".

It does sound like something wasn't quite right though....it shouldn't take that long and I wouldn't expect many losses...much less 90% lost. Yeah, 100 is better than zero, but still...I feel for ya babe!
