Doing another pairing with my two tonight
just hope the female doesnt moult out before she lays tho

Best of luck to both of you, those are really nice

Really nice, Steve!
Do they go by an unofficial handle?
I love the color of the male! Glossy silver...mmmm...together, the pair look like a YinYang. Sweet! I'm assuming, though, that the silver color didn't show up until the ultimate molt?

Great photos, they look really nice. What is the temperement like?

 

[Steve Nunn]

Hi,
@ Dragoon, no handle yet, they've only just been found and are very new to us down under The silver colour of the male does not show up until ultimate instar/maturing moult, until then he is coloured like the females, lilac-black with brick red setae and leg striation.

@ Erik, the attitude is hearty!! These are a beautiful species, very thickset.

Cheers,
Steve
