On bed check N. chromatus has molted.

Still around 1” brown carapace, brown abdomen, but now definite striping on the legs.

So my A. geniculata is about the same size. Last molt revealed reddish abdomen hairs and a reddish carapace, with rings, not stripes on the legs. Still wondering if they are mixed up...

N. tripepii has molted today! Little fuzzball...

Added two P. imperator to the brood today.

G. pulchripes is one of my best eaters so far.

I had a few picky eaters so I went about 7 days since I last fed any of them, G. pulchripes had overturned her water dish and then threw it around the enclosure in protest.

I tossed a fat super worm and I swear she caught it like a dog catching a frisbee.

They all seem to be adapting to dubia nymphs as feeders, my nymphs are still too small for a couple of the juveniles.

Busy weekend...

Yesterday I added two Pandinus imperator, for $32 at the petco half price reptile sale...




Last night I found a Stenopelmatus sp on the front porch....



The Petco employees told me yesterday they had a “pink toe”, but I didn’t look at it. Today I was in the area again and decided that if it was also a 1/2 price reptile I would take it home... $18 later... she was in an almost bare wet enclosure and had made a small web in the corner on the glass.

She seemed very grateful for her new enclosure and this is her about 30 seconds after I put her in..



And 5 minutes later...



I honestly didn’t research avics and hadn’t planned on getting one, so the dumb questions I have I will research now...

She is about 3.5-4” right now, the pedipalps are extremely long so I did consider it may be a MM. I don’t care I’m just happy it has a good home now.

This Stenopelmatus sp is about the size of my thumb, they eat just about anything they get their jaws on, roots and insects I put a piece of broccoli and a super worm in with her and both are either buried or eaten.

This is not a mature male at least, but sex can't be determined from these photos. The pedipalps still have their pink "toes," which disappears when the emboli develop.

Cool, I’m reading up, and it looks like we will have more than a few years together.

I’m rummaging through old Avic threads here mostly.

Looked like it was way bigger in pic , robust for a little cricket. I’ve seen 3” crickets similar to that somewhere in Ohio once .

Got 2 Pseudopalmas irminia slings off CL today ($15)... very tiny 1/4” or so, but already beautiful coloration!

I will be sealing the deal on at least 6 scorpions shortly, 3 different species.

I highly recommend the Brazilian Giant white knee! They're fantastic eaters and grow pretty large compared to most.
