Had a successful pairing of Ornithoctoninae sp Vietnam silver. Hopefully I'll be rewarded with some slings in the near future. The colors have such a metallic sheen to them.
Not at all 😂 why you gotta age me like that 😂
Peats been my go to since the 90s. I don't mix anything with it. I do keep one spot saturated away from the eggs and the very bottom of the soil is ore soaked before I add the top layer. Hold the perfect amount of humidity.
The Omothymus sp valhalla EWL's (eggs with legs) are wiggling their lil legs and should be transformed into spiderlings soon. It has definitely been a journey with this species but I can finally relax a little. I was a ball of nerves the past 35 days while the female had the eggsac. The missus...
Did not want to disturb her but near the center of that pic their is a Magnacarina primaverensis eggsac. So hopefully in the near future I'll be pulling some babies from here. 🤞
From a recent pairing of a G. pulchra. I got a couple of females that are bred and this one molted recently so I needed to pair her. She tried to curl around him a few times so we used the end of the tongs to just make sure she did not succeed.
Cyriocosmus male collage
Since I had all these males alive and well I thought it would be a fantastic opportunity to do a collage.
A. Cyriocosmus sp tambopata
B. Cyriocosmus sellatus
C. Cyriocosmus leetzi
D. Cyriocosmus ritae
E. Cyriocosmus elegans
F. Cyriocosmus venezuelensis
I'm pretty sure this is the first US eggsac of Cyriocosmus sp tambopata. We pulled the eggsac today and it looks like it was a very good one. Can't wait for them to molt
Today we discovered a nice I. mira eggsac, had a B. rudloffi molt and finally got a mature Cyriocosmus sp tambopata. He did lose a leg during the molt but is no worse for wear. Cannot wait to breed these Cyriocosmus.
Definitely one of my favorite dwarf webbing species. I house my adults in acrylic containers I got from hobby lobby. The size is about perfect for their whole lives. The box dimensions is 8.5"x5.5"x6.5". As for rehousing they can be a bit quick but pretty easy to rehouse. The easiest method...
Dug up some of the S. raja to see how my little beauties are doing. That color is so iridescent and the abdomen reminds me of a peacock feather.
Also had another pulchra molt a few days ago and forgot to post the pic so I'll post it up now.
I've had this group of Armadillidium klugii montenegro for years now and it looks like it paid off not to add another source to them. I started out with 12 and from them over the past 6 to 10 months I've noticed more chocolate colored individuals. Now those were unique in their own right but...
