2 NEW ADDITIONS

I went back to my LPS last night and practically robbed them... Well at least it felt that way. I picked up what I think is a A genetic female 4-4.5" for $47.00 and a Brazilian Black and White, Wasn't sure and then put it in a deli today, and I think it's male, but not mature. Both of them of course are under weight and need some beefing up. The Genetic is eating everything I toss at it, the Brazilian ate one or two crickets and that was it, maybe it's going to molt soon. I hope not, I'd like to put more weight on it first.

Anyways here are the pics....

NEW ADDITION

I went to my LPS and I found a few things, At the end of last week I found a RCF rosea female. She looked good, but she was under weight and needs some fattening up. She has been taking down food left and right. Here are some pics when I first got her....

Hope these pics work, still have no clue how to get them to work correctly

And here she is about a dozen crickets later. I tossed her a roach after these pics were taken and she stopped eating for a couple days. She has started up again, and is eating three crickets as I type this.

I do have 2 new additions, but I will put them in a new blog, I think there is a limit on how many pics per blog post and don't want to chop it in half.

Isopod Study with B. vagans Update #1

5/29 Small update, All isopods appear to sill be alive, hard to see the sometimes as they burrow a bit under the top part of the coco fiber. Although I think one may have been eaten, or it may have molted? I'm not sure.



6/1 All isopods are sill alive and doing well.

Even More Molts

Everyone has just been molting and molting, Since most of my collection is slings. Also I can see a bunch of my B. vagan slings going into pre molt, gotta feed some of them tonight. But anyway on with the list of molts.


5/28 H. villosella Was glad to see that little guy/gal. It's one of the 4 H. villosella slings I have in the communal project.

5/29 H. villosella yet another communal sling had molted for me, I also had one of my German imported Blue Fangs G1 molt. They are getting big.

5/30 H. villosella WOW is there a trend here or what? 3 slings in the communal project just molted over the past 3 days.

5/31 H. villosella!!! ALL 4 communal T's molted one right after another.

*Note: I noticed that one of the slings who molted is missing a leg, but is doing fine to this day and I've fed them a couple times to keep them from eating each other.


**NOTE: I noticed that OBT#2 appeared to have molted. On 6/1 I confirmed it, I saw the molt by the burrow entrance.

6/2 C. fasciatum molted, woke up this morning to this pretty girl, was waiting on her. I think she will stay in her home she is in now, but next molt she will have to have a new home AGAIN!

Blue Fang #1 Molted his afternoon as well. I've been waiting on her to molt for about 2 weeks or so now, and today she finally did!. She looks AMAZING!!!
