So do you let them eat each other??

Oh heck no. There will be none of that! This is my first Ornata sac and they will be separated well before they ever think of eating their brothers and sisters.

 

[AubZ]

But won't they start feeding now?

 

[Talkenlate04]

No not till the next molt. On the next molt they will have some color as well.

So at 1st instar they don't eat? Only from 2nd???

 

[Talkenlate04]

Eggs, eggs with legs (post embryo), 1st instar, 2 instar, and a few days to a few weeks after 2nd instar they will begin to hunt for food and start eating.

So yes they only eat at 2nd instar not 1st.

Thanks for the Info.

I posted this on another thread, but no one seemed to respond. How about you help me out on it seeing as you have first hand experience.

I have heard of breeders out there that do the following : They keep all the newly hatched slings together for a while. Then lets say he had 50 eggs, he would now have about 30 or so slings to seperate and sell. The reason they do this is to let the weaker T's be eaten rather than be sold and die.

I take it that this is BS??

 

[Talkenlate04]

I know keepers that keep the young together, but with proper feeding they don't have that many losses. Like for example they might house 50 Regalis slings together for a few months as they are being sold, in the end maybe 1 or 2 get ate, but with food being present for them all the time deaths like that are low.

I actually plan on keeping groups of 5 together while they are will be waiting to be sold.

 

[AubZ]

Cool. How many days roughly will it take from 1st Instar to 2nd Instar?

 

[Talkenlate04]

30-40 depending on the temps they are kept at. The warmer they are the faster they will molt. I keep mine between 78-80.

Thanks Ryan.

I just found out that my supplier will be getting me my fem G rosea and she has already been mated. I can't wait to experience the whole breeding thing. I will be mating a friends fem with my Male and again with my fem.

Thanks for all the great tips.

Late Dec early Jan they will be ready I think. I think I want to get one meal in their bellies before I send them to their new homes.

Great pics, looks like you've been adding photos everyday.
Keep up the good work!

I know what you mean, my camera is pretty pooey as well.
I was trying to get some macro pics of one of my a.seemani females because she had her legs pulled up in a neat way that really showed off her white stripes but my "macro" setting is laughable at best. :wall:

 

[fartkowski]

Awsome pictures again Ryan.
I almost felt like was there watching the molt.

 

[Fenrir]

Nice pics love the resolution and color. Are her fangs bleeding in the close ups?
