True- was going to buy a slow growth species now that prices are lower than usual. Well no won’t do that anymore. Short lived species for me for now.

I've sexed some pretty small molts, but my fine motor skills would make a mess of that tiny thing. It's good to be steady handed! Congrats.

All the credit is to the actual specimen. I literally didn't have to do anything, I just had to put it on the glass slide and look into the microscope. That exuviae was PERFECT

Whatever the seller wants basically. Locale, color, heck if they wanted to they could even name it after their favorite striper

Mine too! I have a binder full of the research that I’ve done on the ones that I have. But I’ll probably have to fin someone from a Fb group to take them. When this started, it was a few Ts that my son and his gf would think about. Well, we’ll be at 37 in a a few hours. And I can’t expect him to take them now because his gf is scared of them.
I am so sorry. Do you have any idea why the exoskeleton wouldn’t harden?

I wasn't implying that there are a few stupid ideas, just ideas in general. I'm guessing you mean the main idea, A. sp. jalisco? Did you lose another one? That would suck.

No lol they're all fine. Just haven't eaten or molted in months. No progress in growth whatsoever lol I'm starting to believe that they'll reach adulthood in my 50s
