Cyriocosmus elegans life span...

[JimM]

It's been in the hobby a while now, anyone have updated information with regard to expected life span of this species? Even a ball park number?

Males and females become mature at about the same time 10 to 12 months or so. The general lifespan of this species is around 5-7 years. Males typically live shorter lives then females though.

Thanks for the input Chris, much appreciated.

anybody know if maturation/lifespan is similar for other Cyriocosmus spp?

Both of my little c. elegans have molted again, I can actually see them now. I am betting they can take down a teeny cricket already. It is so fun watching them grow!
