So at that length I would imagine that they are about the thickness of you thumb? What are Oo's?

Perhaps they just need some time away from the kids.:happy: How big are the adults now? I am considering this species for a planted setup, but they might be too big and destructive. I also love the colours. Very unique.

Thanks. Yes I'm well chuffed. I had a further dig online and have come to the conclusion that mine are indeed C. splendidus.

I have babies! Some very young coma shaped little ones, and a few older ones. I took a photo of one of the bigger ones. Relieved and delighted.

Mine were sold as Centrobolus sp. Mozambique Fire. When searching for info on them I have seen a few very similar types. Mine have a red face and red legs. Confusingly I have seen Splendidus pictured with a black face and black legs as well as all red like mine. What you are saying about the...

Thanks for the insights into species behaviour. Yes They have plenty of wood and leaves available. They like banana and fish flakes. They haven't shown much interest in anything else. They seem to eat mostly the wood and leaves. They have moss in their tank too, and did badly when I decided to...

Thanks so much for your reply. I am completely new to inverts. Fish have always been my thing, and yes i was afraid she would eat or abandon them. Certainly Cichlids will eat a brood if disturbed. Pretty sure they were eggs and not babies. To be honest I thought they sealed them up in poop ball...

When tucking some decayed wood under the moss layer I accidentally dug up a brooding female. In fact I almost threw her out because she was just tucked into a straggly piece of surface moss. The species is Centrobolus Mozambique Fire - the only one I have - am pretty new to this and worried...

Thanks for the explanation. That would be interesting to find out if they become less skittish through early handling. Certainly worth doing. We are having a plague of the little native black ones at the minute. 20 -30 in the bath every morning. Thousands inside the garage. There is a sudden...

Very beautiful. I have been considering this species. When you say they release lots of toxins; do you mean when handled, or do they stink up their tank?

I just found your care video on this species. Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks.

Yes I noticed this with my Scabers - the more there were the more I saw of them during the day. I am glad that you think A. Maculatum is a good choice as they look great. Any tips? Temperature? Am a little confused by the "slightly dryer" recommendations. Do you spray one corner of their...

I had fun keeping a box of wild caught P. Scaber on my desk over the winter. They went through a ton load of alder leaves and bred like crazy. I released them once the weather warmed up again. I have found that I miss the little beasties and have discovered that many beautiful species are...

I was just reading your setup thread that you linked in your post. I would be wary of rhododendron leaves as the plant is toxic to bees and other insects. I know that the conservation people spend a lot of time and money trying to eradicate it. I would read up on it before you prepare your...

I ordered mine from Virginia Cheeseman. C Sprringerus was going to be my first choice from Spider Shop, but I noticed they were wild caught and it put me off. Probably stupid now that I think about it as they are probably a pest in California. Personally I think you will miss out on some of the...

Just wondering if you ever got your Pedes. I also live in Ireland and have just ordered my first ones - Mozambique Fire - which are at present stuck in the post over the weekend - which is making me very worried for their safety.
