Thanks, she's not very defensive, I've had very few threat poses from her, she's very skittish though, runs at the speed of sound lol

I rehoused my female p. formosa juvi today and I took some pics she's about 4 inches






Here is were she came up and gave me a threat pose the ran back down I had to flood her container to get her. She kept attacking the straw when I tried to prod her out.


This is what I rehoused her into

My female P. Formosa molted last night - she is simply stunning and about 6.5" now. If anybody has a MM for sale - let me know (hint, hint!).

Na, photoshop is way too complicated for me! LOL I do use a software I downloaded to resize the pics and crop where necessary...that's about it. I may have hit the contrast button without thinking about it....I just get on a roll, hitting buttons and saving. LOL

I'll let you know if I get one!!

A good free editor that's like Photoshop is called Gimp. For something that's free, it packs a lot of features. I may get it again.
