At least two of the S. javanensis are dead. They're tiny, first or second instars.

 

[skippy]

well, that sucks...

how's the rest of the package?

 

[Draiman]

I think everyone's dead.

Edit: The first sign of life - a tiny A. geniculata sling. How fast do these grow, by the way?

EDIT: A second A. geniculata is alive and walking.

 

[skippy]

well that really sucks then.

sorry to hear

did they not have enough heat? any indication what the cause was?

 

[Draiman]

At this point in time the survivors are four A. geniculata and three Pterinochilus chordatus and one Stromatopelma calceatum. Much better now.

 

[Draiman]

Final count:

5x P. chordatus
4x A. geniculata
2x S. calceatum

All the Selenocosmia javanensis are dead.

 

[Draiman]

Here are a few horrible pics. At least the Chordatus are fine.

One of the chords:

One of the S. calceatum:

And one of the very tiny Genics (how fast do they grow??):

My genic. grew from one to six inches in about a year.


Why didn't you buy some roaches too?

Ah, great. That's a decent growth rate.

Lol yeah I'd forgotten. I'll definitely be getting some roaches on the next shipment.

Mites again, also on the chelicerae :wall::

Also, male or female?

 

[skippy]

sorry about your losses but at least some came through.
