Love these little guys i have a 1.1 pair.. 1 adult 1 sub adult

These guys are very small with a very large personality.. large thick metosomas they love to wiggle and wave around in circles. they're very aggressive eaters, they have ZERO hesitation in attacking larger prey (twice) their size and its the most awesome thing to watch lol, its fun to watch the tail wag when they catch their prey, almost like a celebratory dance.

Very cool how the molt holds the black in the last 3-5 segments in the metosoma

Love Orthochirus, probably my favorite genus. Glad to see them popping up more in the US!
