Okay - Way back towards the end of November, I ordered some new blood to add to my scorpion collection and decided to add a couple of L. parahybana because they were a species I had never raised back in my Tarantula days and I wanted to experience raising them.
I ordered two and received them on 11-12-2010. They were sold to me as 1/8" specimens(and that was a stretch.) One of them seemed more active and robust than the other and molted on 12-06-2010. It took the other till 5 days ago(12-26-2010) to molt.
Here's my question; The first to molt is currently on his back - 25 days after his first molt with me. The thing that has me curious is that it ate a 1/4" cricket 2 days ago and seemed quite active this last week.
It never went into a non-eating, hiding or inactive stage. Please tell me your anecdotal experience to this.
I must offer this...I keep these two in a open top seventy-five gallon aquarium where I must keep all my little baby desert species at around 80-87 degrees.
There is no humidity in the tank other than what I provide in their(L.p.) container.
