What instar is the A. mauri?

 

[gromgrom]

What instar is the A. mauri?

i didnt record molts back then, but they SHOULD be 1 away from adulthood. AFAIK. I dont know their specie well enough to say from tailsize yet

also should note their final pic was me being an idiot. Assumed they were the same instar and adults since males have larger tails. The "FEMALE" on the right molted out and they have the same size tails and are both in fact female, due to pectinal sexing

 

[Danimal]

I have to ask, what is AFAIK? lol

 

[sfpearl300z]

It's an acronym

AFAIK = As Far As I Know

 

[Danimal]

of course. :wall: Thanks!

 

[gromgrom]

Rhopalurus junceus

Centruroides sculpturatus
Took them to the reptile show, each one housed one sling each, and i wasnt done. Now they're all living communally.

brood 4

some blacklighting!

 

[2nscorpx]

Interesting blacklighting pictures, we don't see those very often!

What size deli containers are the baby C. sculpturatus in?

smallest of the small. think theyre 2oz. my friend sean uses 4oz, and as usual, those 4oz are better. you could keep a sculpt in the 4oz's he uses until almost adulthood.

right now theyre in a giant community. i can try to get good pics.

as for the blacklighting pics, yeah, i just collect their exoskeletons and store them away, as they florescence for like a year to 18 months, or somewhere around there.

yes, this is after i gave around 10 away at the reptile show to buddies in the area for free. I definitely think every keeper should have some.

[gromgrom]
