I bred her myself last August
Yes I will be selling them. I already have several from 2 batches I produced last year and also have 5 or 6 from a totally different bloodline that I intend to breed when they are mature.
Every species I have ever bred will eat undeveloped or dead newborns. She is only eating the ones that were born dead
now i know they were recycled.
From August 2006 to May 2007
It takes about 2 years for these to mature IME. I doubt yours are mature by now. Remember a male will develop very bulbous chela at last molt. Show some pics of yours and it will be easy to tell if you have an adult male or not. They are larger than C vittatus when mature
I actually mated her about 5 days after her last brood of kids had dispersedFrom that old picture it seems you didn't give that female much time after she molted to mate her.
Seems rather dull, like a soft exo.. Does this species have a softer one possibly? Although the male doesn't have much brilliancy, seems a little shinier than the female.
and the info Good luck.Yeah, the chela look like the male you have in the pic there now, to me anyway. I'll post a pic later. Maybe I will send it to you in a PM because I have a pic of it in my palm, only to show it's size better, and I don't want to start a bunch of posts over it being in my hand. If in fact it is a mature male, I would wonder if heat (too much of it possibly) might have had something to do with it already being sexually mature(?) First things first though. I need to post the pic. I'm out of town and will post the pic later.
I dont know, it may be just the lighting because it isnt softSeems rather dull, like a soft exo.. Does this species have a softer one possibly? Although the male doesn't have much brilliancy, seems a little shinier than the female.
