Hey John,...

i didn't expect them to be any bigger,... ;)
how old are they now?
and how long is it gonna take before they grow adult size?
and how many of those little crickets do you give them a week?
and at what temperature/humidity do you keep them now?


i know i know,... many questions in one reply but i want to be sure i can bring those to adulthood :D

very nice picture by the way,.. :}

cheers

i think they are about 5 months old:?
as for how long they take to reach adults i've no idea sorry
as for feeding them i feed them about 3 small crickets a week
and the temperature is around 80f as for the humidity i just spray one end of the enclosure every 4-5 days

I'm raising some little ones now and I'm beginning to think they grow very slowly. I think they molt in the winter while sealed in a burrow. So far, one molt a year....resulting in slow growth!
