Talon matures

[Immortal_sin]

My large female just molted as well, so now I have to decide if I want 2500 slings running around hehe!
Here's Talon's molt ...the exuvia measured a bit over 6", so he's probably close to 7" or so, hopefully he can hold his own with Nightmare.

this might help some of you out there with male/female guessing

Is his fang ok? It looks messed up in that last pic.

 

[Immortal_sin]

he was stretching in the pic, yes, it's ok. Interestingly, his right fang was partially gone, and it's regenerated perfectly.
I'm always amazed by that!

 

[arachnopunks]

nice photo sequence........that regeneration thing amazes me too. wish we as humans could do that. reality TV game shows would be very different

 

[MizM]

Hmmmm, would I want the offspring from parents named Nightmare and Talon?:?

Yeah, I'm sure they'll be gorgeous, just like their parents!

 

[Psycho]

I know its a stupid question...what species is that?

hey

:? looks like L. parahybana to me.

Eh, I don't ever plan on breeding mine. I think that the market is already saturated with them. You can already find them super cheap. I would check with some of the dealers and see what kind of loot they would throw your way if you gave them the offspring. I doubt it would be too much.

(Assuming that it is L. parahybana)

But, captive bred specimens are needed and more desirable in my opinion..... Go for the breeding.

 

[Immortal_sin]

yes, it is L parahybana. I will breed them, since otherwise the male just goes to waste. I'd rather have him do what he was born to do anyway. I'm not a dealer, I just feel that captive breeding is IMPORTANT to the hobby, regardless of species...
