They look great, congrats!

it took a very long time, but was worth it :biggrin:

Could you explain this a little bit for me? Do you mean it just took a long time for you to be successful, or that this specific pairing and gestation itself took a long time?

Thanks in advance.

I meant the pairing itself and gestation period; the whole mating process took about a day and a half (which is the longest pairing i had to go through :exhausted: ) and the gestation took three and a half months.

how about the feeding schedule during the gravid period? did you powerfeed or regular feeding only?

 

[JohnDapiaoen]

I power fed her until she made herself an underground chamber then i stopped feeding her entirely. she stayed in the chamber for the rest of the gestation period and until the babies molted into 2nd instar.

Here it is. The information you want there isn't anything special though, there is plenty of information about breeding this particular species when you google it. Happy breeding! but just a heads up, it's easy-- but tedious.

Sorry I'm new at this, but how do you power feed a vinegaroon?
