Harpactira Pulchripes - Golden Blue Leg Baboon. A successful hatch with one of my smaller golden blue leg females. I have found these to be good mothers and best to leave the sac instead of pulling it. I have the video of the pairing of this female if you scroll down on my profile. Separating will be chaos no doubt but it’s always fun. Beautiful 🕷️
Platythomisus Octomaculatus - The Pikachu spider or The Eight Spotted Crab Spider. Beautiful species
Caribena Versicolor slings after their recent molt from nymph to sling. This eggsac has been so stressful. I unfortunately had to pull early due to the mother’s abandonment of it and the eggs and nymphs were dying left right and centre. Almost half of the sac I lost and this is what managed to make it from over 100 slings. The last count there was just over 80 but I lost several more after the last count. These babies seem healthy but I’ll be keeping a close eye on them and will give them several feeds before finding some of them their new homes. Versicolors are my favourite slings. They are just so beautiful and majestic with their blue colour
Acherontia Atropos - Death’s Head Hawk Moth
A successful breeding project with my Phormingochilus Hatihati. Considering she is one of my smaller Ts I’ve bred this year, her EWLs were quite big and chunky compared to some of my bigger species EWLs which were tiny but plentiful. Beautiful. The feeling after a successful eggsac is so rewarding and no matter how many eggsacs I hatch, each one is like the first time.
