Phormingochylus sp Sabah Blue rehoused

@l4nsky This is what I just rehoused them into from vials about half this size with only a few holes in the lid.

I LOVE my Thornton vials, never found a better box for the cost! And thick plastic that is easily drilled.
I just picked up 20 of them haha and I’ll probably be buying more soon too if my male Singapore blue gets over his fear of procreation lol

I wish their lids would last longer, but any plastic is bound to weaken over time.

Aside, they are great.

Especially the softer plastics. I do like that the lid material allows opening and closing of the vials with minimal disturbance to the inhabitant however.

EXACTLY the reason I like them too.. never had a NW or OW issue w/them at all.

That is an unbearably adorable...what, inch and a half or so of pure fury? Hard to tell from the angles just how it stacks up against the ruler.

So cute. 🤩
Inch and a half is close lol not quite that big but has a worse attitude than my adult female L nigerrimum 😂 I love C sp Hati Hati lol

Reworked the versi enclosure for more leaf cover. I’m hoping she uses the natural curves in the leaves to build her tube in.

Discovered a Christmas molt from my B hamorii female.

Treated myself to a Christmas T. I found this girl on Craigslist. Molt confirmed female Megaphobema robustum.

Feeding time and my seladonia decided to go on a stroll instead. ED76E397-E3E1-4921-836D-7F79CDFF0B19.jpeg

Home made “Haplotank.” It has almost the same dimensions as the original. Ventilated 1” strip along the bottom on the back 1” above the bottom of the enclosure and fully ventilated lid. Waiting on some of the condensation to dissipate and the water to equalize and I’ll introduce my female C lividus
