Another Blue Fang Rehoused!

Well today I finally got my only surviving German import blue fang rehoused. Should have done it long ago, but it always escaped me. Sadly the two other German imports who were suspected females died of unknown causes. The survivor is a suspected male of course because that's how it always goes.

I've found when rehousing this sp. You need to cover them with something. I use a paper bag, and leave them alone till they establish a burrow, which might take a few weeks. I also help them out by starting to dig out a corner, helps them to get to it faster.

My MF took almost 3 weeks to take to her burrow and make it her own. They stress easily and need to be covered. If not I've found they will sit on the top of the sub all crunched up and won't move for days which I can't see as being good at all.

Also trying a new breeding set up for my H. Villosella. My C. Fasciatum/ pentalore sac will be getting pulled in just over 2 weeks and I'm hoping for lots of slings. My P. Irminia molted out a MM, so I'm trying to find a MF, but not much luck. Also trying to find several other MM's but no luck with them either.

Well enough of my blabbering,

Later Days.
