A partially hardened mealworm beetle, and some substrate apparently.

Here she is with three of the same at another feeding. She likes this pose just above her burrow.

I've been looking for a female for a couple years. Just had mature males all the time. Are you getting slings or adults

They are easily distinguished dorsally as early as 2-3". Males are brown whereas females are black.

Yeah I had purchased 4 2nd instar slings a couple years ago and they ended up being all males. The last one just matured about 3 weeks ago.

Damn man, thats rotten luck...

If it makes you feel any better...I know a guy who had seventeen males of the same species in a row lol. And this wasn't just one batch of slings.

I got super lucky with the Borneo blacks. Bought 3, two ended up being female

A couple post-moult photos. Showing some nice opisthosomal striping, and then turned around for a super worm.

Beautiful specimen, my female just molted this week too.

She is gorgeous. Put on a fair bit of size between moults, too.

Great growth rates from these guys, mine pretty much doubled in size with each molt until around the 3'' mark.

Thats typical from Lampropelma though.

Easily my favourite at the moment. Walking past the super worm bin I noticed one freshly moulted. Couldn't pass up the opportunity for a T to get a soft and squishy treat.

Yeah, they’re like something from the T dessert bar.
