Local Ts.
We found enough to justify keeping a few...
edit()
1st mate attempt (undocumented) was a quick response test ...prob half hr supervised. Male ignored female. Female punched him once or twice but basically ignored him. Didnt want to leave him with her unsupervised, so pulled him and he went back to his enclosure and outside.
Few dayz ago, male still feeding and spunky, but suddenly looking dusty, shriveled and haggard. OK.. so... do or die..ya mate or Ill leave you two alone for whatever happens. He was consumed sometime during the night. During a few hrs of observation there was no sexual response. Only contact was due to me gently directing him to walk across the substrate instead of trying to climb out of the big plastic bowl. Female mostly tolerated him but got punchy once or twice.
Next day male was chewed up mushy juices. No biggie... but, I wont bother guessing the odds. Hopefully I witnessed shyness and they got it on during the night.

You might want to specify what Ts I find... or else I'll overload yall with pictures of pretty rocks, leaves, sticks, etc. instead of just keeping those to myself lol

ooh, pretty. I'd love to get my hands on some local sp., but I don't like getting dirty, so I've been hesitant about trying to go hunting myself...
