Ephebopus cyanognathus - sling to MM photos

korg · Dec 12, 2018

Some photos of Ephebopus cyanognathus from spiderling (maybe 3/4") to ultimate male (a bit under 4") in case anyone is curious. I also kept a growth log on one of my males few years ago that outlines how long this progression might take:

Well that was fast...

Thanks for sharing!

Hah! Yes, not much patience required for these. Very cool species that I enjoy keeping, though.

Yeah, they mature pretty quickly (from 3/4" to MM in about a year), didn't get many pics of Loki, he was about 3" before his ultimate moult IIRC.

Had mine for about 6 months and it’s still barely 2cm DLS. Interesting.
