I'll be writing articles soon as I have some spare time for this sp and Pamph "nigricolor". I dont know all that much but I will be explaining what I did and why I "believe" it was necessary

Actually it didnt bother me at all. The abdomen hairs of this species isnt as bad as those long orange hairs on the back legs to me

Tom, Still drinking but I made a special effort just to count them. The final count is.............................................. drum roll please...................................47.

Not alot of them but hey its a start. I am not aware of anyone ever producing them in the USA before except when acquiring a WC gravid female. I could be wrong of course but I am not aware so someone correct me if I am wrong.
This female wasnt very big, the babies are very large. Much larger than I expected them to be.

Update Time!

Just a little update for y'all.

The babies are molting and beginning to look like "real" slings now


You can see 2 in the molting process


Wont be long until I will need to separate them and let the feeding begin

Hmmmm..... These slings are so large that I am not sure if they will have enough space to molt in a condiment cup.
