Thanks Jan, I did not intend for them to hatch with mom. These have very fast development stages! I pulled them out right after the mom shots.

Man these are pretty as slings!! I'm definitely getting them. I originally wanted them for 2 reasons-- Blue feet, and they have a curiously funny trapdoor behavior I've watched and talked to people about.

I'm sold!

Very cool shot 2nd from the end!

You bet! My first one from Catfish! It's more secretive than my marshalli. But I've seen it's blue toes already. I hope the toes get brighter on mine. Either way the trapdoor aspect is very amusing.

 

[Storm76]

Haha! That little guy behaves like my MM! Awesome shots as usual and great work, Chad! Glad to see these being bred over there and made more available!
