After 2 years of trying, finally T. blondi success.

You need to tell those little turds to molt. Im losing patience.

Me Too! I'll go tell them to hurry!

It took mine 55 days to molt from first instar to 2nd. No pic's of the adults to share ?

I'll have to see if I have any of the adults from this pairing. Here is the male and one of my females. I'm not sure if this is the right girl, but I think this is the sire for this eggsac. When I have a moment, I'll take pictures of this girl.

Congrats, 2 years is really not that long :worship: I read through your breeding report but I'm much more interested in seeing what the adults look like, and what the slings will look like when they reach 2nd instar. Please share if you have any clear pics of them. Great work again !

Later, Tom

It is a bit late, but here are the pics of the adults. They aren't the clearest of shots, but since I spend all my money on spiders and lizards, I've yet to purchase a nicer camera.

Mom:

Possibly the father. There was an older male as well that was being used. The older male is no longer alive. He died 15 months after he matured. He was breeding up until the last few weeks of his life.

They don't stay this size for long.

I have this pic in my classified ad, but I thought I'd put it here as well since it shows the size of these little guys.

 

[Philth]

I wonder what color their feet will be ?:?
Congrats, -Tom

I'm going to guess that their tarsi will match the rest of their legs. I'm fairly certain these are T. blondi. When my T. apophysis breed, then I'll expect pink tarsi. I'm still very skeptical of the so-called "burgundy" goliaths but that is another topic for another thread. In a few weeks maybe I'll be surprised. We'll see.

That's a great picture of the sling on the coin!
