Hey All,
I am curious... a bunch of us pede keepers are having boatloads of trouble with little baby pedes suffering unexplained deaths... mortality seems to be abnormally high. I was wondering how many of you hardcore T keepers have actually successfully raised a sling from 2nd or 3rd instar through maturity, male or female? I know for some of the slower-growing species, this could take 4 or 5 years...
Anyway, if you could post your general ratio of good to bad luck with raising them full lifecycle, I'd appreciate it... I'm curious if other invert families have the high mortality of pedes...
