Another annoucenment..

My 4.5cm P.imperator 3I molted tonight, pictures will be up tomorrow.

Pandinus imperator 0.0.1 - freshly molted. I love the size increase after molts on scorpions. It's astonishing.

Thanks thunder. Oh you should already have one!;P

 

[P. Novak]

Acanthoscurria geniculata 0.1 should be in premolt soon

 

[P. Novak]

Finally... Success!

After 3 previous failed attempts because of refusal to mate by both parties, I finally got them to mate after cohabbiting them for over 5 hours. This is the most stubborn species I have ever bred. There were several insertions made during the 10 minutes they were locked together. Sorry for the blurry pics, they moved way to much and I forgot where the shutter speed button on my camera was..

I found this hilarious, look at the way he positioned her. He was very fiesty, and again I apologize for the bad quality.

Like always Doezsha, thanks man! I'll probably need it with this species.

Thanks Nate, yeah I'm satisfied with it. What do you think about the new substrate I'm trying out. Strictly for "desert and arid" species.

Is the breeding with a Euathlus species??

Nope, it's with Paraphysa scrofa. I shoulda mentioned that.

 

[Natemass]

looking good, you always seem to use nice substrate

Hey thanks Nate, I like the "simple" natural enclosures the best. I gave her a nice, big, dark hide and all she does is stay in the open. I'm not complaining though.:}

Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens 0.1 - postmolt

and confirmed female, yet again.
