The one female I thought would have a second brood finally did a few weeks ago but from my experience the production of multiple broods is unusual. You (Galopheros) could send me your female if you want to see if she's exceptional and I'd split any offspring produced. I have some adult males.
That's great to hear, too bad that's the exception rather than the rule though.
Those are definitely not A.bolliana, they may be tonkawa, but that mature female in the first pic looks pretty red colored, which seems unusual for tonkawa, (or at least for the individuals I've seen). @Lucanus95, what do you think?I'm not so disappointed now, though I hate dead-ends with breeding though. I have so much going on right now, a little overwhelmed with stuff, have to set things up better later with all this stuff. But I now have the youguns set up in separate containers, looks good. I read Orin's experience there also with reproduction, hoping it's his experience and not natural law there but whatever. Here are the Arenivaga that took over.
If there are two species in the enclosure then it's possible they could hybridise, however species that have overlapping ranges usually can't breed with each other, otherwise there would be tons of hybrids in the wild.
Thank you very much. They could be either Arenivaga tonkawa or A.erratica, both have records from Burnet county, however I did not find any records of any Arenivaga from Waller county. Do any of your males ever have black pronotum markings, as opposed to the reddish brown that was on the specimen pictured?
Interesting, well they look cool, don't know if they are A.tonkawa or not, or if you have two species cohabitating in the same enclosure, once I have some money to spend on bugs I may want to buy a dozen or so from you, will definitely let you know if I'm interested!
