I've been looking for L. violaceopes for a while now (ironically). How large are they? I could trade you my minax for them.

If they're too small (under 1"), I'd suggest avoiding them, because L. violaceopes slings tend to just die for absolutely no reason. I had two before, a few months ago; they were doing fine, eating very well, molted once or twice and then died, completely out of the blue. Most other people here on AB have had similar experiences with this species in general.

I'm just hoping the minax are more hardy. Oh and I'm still keeping them in small delicups lined with tissue paper due to their size, so I can't say anything about how reclusive they are. I would expect them to be as much a pet hole as H. lividum though. Once they molt they'll be rehoused. They have massive appetites :eek:

yeah...i heard of that too.:(
i think i'd rather go for some pokies though.
the lividum has quite an appetite as well normally...
but aftr moving her it seems shes not at all interested in crickets...
shes at the bottom of her den not moving.
looking forward to see your minax when theyre larger!

very cool!
but i dont believe it is the container that makes em come out...
i think only when they feel safe they come out.
my lividum is always out,but when she senses me she runs for it...
