Looked in on the female Irminia today and we have a sac. Now the waiting game begins. I will get pics up shortly.

Good luck!

This is from the second sac of P. Irminia, sorry I did not keep updates on the first one it was good also, but only gave me 50 slings. This one was much larger and looks to be well over a 100 in this one. I just snapped a quick pic before they go into the incubator. I let mom take care of them until they are getting close to 2nd instar. She was not happy at all with this process, but we escaped with no new puncture holes. I will post more pics when they get to 2nd instar and are feeding.

Nice collection of T's and like you're P,irminia slings very cute.

 

[Gaherp]

The slings are getting ready to be 2nd instars, and I will post pics once they start molting. Here are some pics of a few that have T's that snapped pics of today.

C. Fasciatum(one of 5 I am raising up. Once I know I sexes I will most likely thin out the group a little)

Snapped a few pics today. The Irminia slings should be molting into 2nd instars in the next 5 days or so. The other pic is of my female haitian brown(P. cancerides) . I wish I had gotten a little closer to her with the tape measure she is actually about 6.5 inches diagonal leg span from front right to rear left. Not to mention she never misses a meal.

First up is the Irminia slings which have started into 2nd instars. Thought I would give them another look before bed and snapped this pic.

Now just some pics I took yesterday I forgot to upload. Enjoy

Nice job with the irminias!

 

[Gaherp]

139 is what I ended up with I thought it was going to be a little less then that, but once I got all the portion cups low and behold 139. All are getting ready to feed, and I have the termites ready.

Long time since I posted thought I would post a pic to my thread. This is a Davus Pentalore female I finally got a mm for. Will post more pics since I have a few species I will be breeding this year.

 

[Gaherp]

Got two MM T. Violaceus to work with. Hopefully females will molt soon to put them to work. This is the larger at a little over 3.5" dls. The other male is only 2/3rd his size.

 

[Gaherp]

looks like the two MM T. violaceus will be put to use this next week. First female molded last week and the other female will molt hopefully within the next week or two. Also have an adult female and MM Avic Avic that will be paired in a few weeks. Will post better pics shortly and pics of avic avic.

 

[Gaherp]

one more male matured out. looks like it will be a good year for slings. have three females pentaloris about to be bred by a male i received recently, two violaceus females, a female avic avic, and now two female pumkin patch's have a male to work on them in a few weeks. Here is a pic of him four days post most.

 

[Gaherp]

one of my p. metallica molted this morning so I had to snap a pic. love the blue on it for sure.

 

[Gaherp]

one of my female T. violaceus made a sac last night and the other should do the same in the next week or so. Now to get the pentaloris all bred and H. sp large to drop. shaping up to be a fruitful spring.

 

[Gaherp]

Pumpkin patch lg. are breeding now. We have a couple of females to throw to this male over the next few weeks.

 

[Gaherp]

More pics. First two are of one of my female T. violaceus and last is of a fresh molted male C. elegans. Got about a third of my female elegans not bred yet so he is going to be busy. The other females have sacs or about to drop sacs. The T. violaceus has a uniform dark purple color except for half her abdomen. One pic is with external light and other is with just camera flash.

 

[Gaherp]

blurry but a pic of another elegans breeding.


Got a better pic real quick.

 

[Gaherp]

Paired another few elegans today. Got sacs getting close to pulling and others that just laid. Can't get enough of my dwarfs.
One of the pairings of C. elegans.

Had another P. metallica molt in the past few days.

 

[Gaherp]

Another one of my D. pentalore nearing a molt. Should be able to get pics of the process if I catch it in time.

 

[Gaherp]

Had a D. pentalore molt today and will also post a pic or two of it in the "who molted today". Here is a close up fang pic the rest will be in the other thread.
