Lovely little Slings Rob!

they have all passed, I did get a sac of P.formosa this morning though.Aww. How many are left?
it duc vids, next time I may try lowering the temps a bit.That's just rotten luck! Better luck next time mate.
it happens, there is always nextsorry man...
It sucks, but the P. mirandas just molted into 2nd instars...have to wait for one more molt on these to LOL!! They are the same as Metallica.....3rd instar and they begin eating.Darn, I was looking forward to them too Like you said, there's always next time!
That would be bad, I think the sac was just unhealthy, they had a lot of crust on them, a few where eggs with legs but the crust like substance kept them from emerging.This could be an effect of inbreeding(accumulation of deleterious alleles), seeing as very few were initially wild caught for proliferation in the trade. Interesting but very very sad if it is the case.
Actually they are not bad...they haven't decomposed. I think maybe my temps where a bit high...but every other pokie sac I have had did great at these temps. I noticed they6 had a hard time molting....they would then (after molting) turn over spread there legs and just die? some would just be fine then just die??I don't think anyone can confidently answer that question^
it would be interesting to test the heterozygosity index of 20 or so of the offspring. (I could but they have probably gone bad by now)
