Thanks big time I appreciate that. Definitely an awesome species I'd recommend, it was kinda my dream T too and I thought they were super rare but they're actually pretty readily available now and I managed to get that juvenile female in the video as well as 2 slings. The colors are pretty amazing, unlike any other species I've seen.

Awesome and good luck, though males look stunning as well and you could probably find a breeder to hopefully get some slings from pairing him. I've got 2 little 1" slings as well I'm raising up right now because I thought this big female was so cool.

But they are growing very slow, compared to other in the genus! P cancerides for ex

Mine have molted twice in probably as many months so not too fast I guess but they put on a lot of size each time. They ate 1 big cricket in between molts and then wouldn't eat until they just recently molted again lol.

That was a great shot/angle. Subscribing! I wonder if molting feels really good or is uncomfortable for them. Since your T is from Cuba, is it considered OW or NW?

Yes but my did not put on massive size. P cancerides for ex grows much more repidly in my experience! Nice channel you have! Congrats, you got yourself a new follower!

Thank you I appreciate it, and I've yet to own any other Phormictopus species but there's definitely quite a few I hope to get at some point.
