Still patiently waiting for photos

oh, learn to knit, why don't you! It's been a long day, and I can't figure out how to use this blasted camera! Cross my heart, I'm curious too. But I've got babies to feed, and a rat cage to clean tonight or I'm going to be living in a box under a bridge. So yes, keep calm and knit one Purl two. I'll get this done!

Size, Joe?

They look like the bad guy in a Cohen Brothers movie. Love it.

2.5" and fiesty in the container (perhaps feeding response) flighty after fleeing out of the container, but no threat response displayed to me while putting it back.

There are few enough of these out there in the US, and mine is almost exactly the same size. I wonder if they are sack mates?

 

[JoeRossi]

As I told you in the PM you asked me about them on March 13th, I believe they are from the same source and therefore would say they are in fact sac mates. They came legally imported via cargo from Jorge Mendoza through Mexico to US. I and two others recieved them and then one of the individuals sold some to a pet shop in AZ where you acquired one.

Yep, I remember your response. Well that WOULD make sense that they are sacmates. I hope I have enough exuvia to sex. I've got about 6 molts to go through, but this one will definitely be first on the list.

My little guy took a medium cricket today. First meal in my care. I note an exceptionally long pre molt period. Don't know if that's typical of the species or just typical of the transition into this instar. What a jump, though, from a very babyish looking instar to a miniature adult.
