Sakura is just gorgeous, so is Jasmine! Great shots, as always.

Thank you!!! Sakura is singlehandedly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Such a dazzling array of color!!!!

To get that second pic, I put that camera practically right up into Jasmine's grill. Glad I did, because the flash just made her colors go:

I think I recall reading somewhere that the lobsters are aggressive to other roaches.. I am not sure where this info came from, I do keep a colony of lobsters for feeders and i'm sure it was while doing research for them! That could be why??
Great Pics!!!

Thanks!!! Good to know about the defensiveness. I've not found any traces of carcasses from the other two species in my Lob enclosure.....not sure what's going on, or how these roaches seem to phase through space, LOL!!! I'll find an occasional Lob around the house (as to be expected), but never any dubia or Hybrids. Those two just end up in each other's containers.....

Great shots Steve! I cant wait until Rio starts looking like Se7en.. And WOW!! Sakura is amazing! :drool: I cant wait until mine get to looking that gorgeous..

Thanks Tommy!!! Se7en is a cutie.....and on my lap ATM, LOL. Hair-kicking demoness, though.....I can honestly say that I prefer her bite!!!

I still stand slackjawed when I stare at Sakura.....which is quite frequently, LOL!!!!


In her new home:

A couple more Scorp pics (she is either gravid, or tremendously fat):

Blacklight Take One (crap):

Blacklight Take Two (almost a good shot......then my batteries die :evil: ):

oh wow! If she's gravid you gotta send me some when she pops, y'hear? .....

my dad doesn't have to know.

anyhoo, great shot of Sakura, she looks great. And I don't know why you think that backlight pic looks like crap, looks pretty awesome to me.

Don't worry, you'll get some Emps. Fortunately their broods are pretty small, and they're fully communal. Since I'll be hanging on to most of the scorplings for the uber-commune, I wouldn't have a problem being able to hold on to a couple til you move. Oh, I'll be going collecting this spring / early summer. Hopefully, I'll be bringing back some U. mordax from my naitive Cascadian forests. Some will be sold, and others bred...


Look at both shots closely. I forgot to wipe off the glass, so there is a speck of dust flourescing directly over the scorp. Neither shot had the lighting right in order to capture the details correctly either....so they were ok to post up, but not good enough to waste any time in Photoshop.

Well, I don't have any other roaches.. unless it's a lat/dubia hybrid LOL
I'll have to get some pictures of mine.. because it's been the same colour since it was smaller, even when it's not freshly molted.

LOL she'll probably molt anyday now! River is huge! I can't wait to measure her, her exo measured 5" relaxed. As soon as she hardens up and I get her into an adult enclosure I'm going to be looking for a male.

 

[super-pede]

You gotta get some pedes up in that collection! Maybe we should nag on Thuyn at RCR to get some?

 

[Teal]

Yay for new pictures! Great shots

I love your roaches! I can't wait to play with them when I am up that direction lol
