Mack&Cass' Photo Thread

[Protectyaaaneck]

Protectyaaaneck - there are multiple bloodlines of the H. gabonensis going aroung. From what I can remember, Cedrik produced two sacs with these guys. There was also another user who had another unrelated bunch. The person who is getting our male bought the unrelated bunch from said user when he got out of the hobby. I think that's how it's all working out. The person to PM about this would be AbraxasComplex (who is getting our male) or even CedrikG. All I know for sure is that there are multiple bloodlines.

And I love my snakes, so here are some recent shots of two of my boys:

Our female C. darlingi molted, and she is absolutely gorgeous. She was in premolt for months, and it was definitely worth the wait:

Thanks, I think the Brachistosternus almost looks gold-plated. A very cool, if somewhat hostile, species.

Now for the exciting update:
Scrabble, our B. albopilosum, is laying her eggsac as I type this! The mating took on the first try, which was on January 25, 2010. We got pretty lucky only having to wait two months and a little for her to lay. I don't have pictures because I just want to leave her be for now, but we're really excited!

Breeding the two was easy as pie (or whatever dessert you prefer). We gave him some of her webbing to get him interested. We then "cupped" him and put him in her enclosure, at the opposite end of her, he twitched and she responded emphatically. If you haven't already, you should watch our rather poor quality youtube video of the breeding to see exactly what I mean.

And now the T additions (the ones shown are females):

This picture isn't as good but you can see her more stretched out:

This was our first scorpion molt in a year:

And now, the most exciting part of the update...

We pulled the B. albo sac! There are at least 500 eggs with legs, and they've actually started molting into first instar already.
