Parabuthus transvaalicus babies

[Brian S]

Feed your girl a few times and put the male in her cage. They will probably mate right in front of you. Be ready to move the male back out because my female got rather violent after they broke up.

Here are scenes when I mated mine again....

In this photo the male is dropping the spermataphore


Here is the spermataphore. The break up was violent and I had to remove the male.

That's really interesting! Nice pics! About how long does it take for this sp to mature? I have some of your babies.

My guess would be a bit under a year with constant high temps. Maybe over if it's at room temp. And I have 4 of his as well

I would suspect it will take at least a year at 85F and much longer if kept cooler (say around 75F). Keep these at least 80F in order for them to thrive.

Here's a picture of one of your babies in action, Brian, my friend took it while I was doing the feedings, not bad when you consider the size of a second instar.

Thanks for the info, she ate a lot after I took the babies away and is almost as fat as before giving birth, so I will introduce them soon.( Just hope she doesn't kill him because he is my only male)
