P.rufilata

[Ceratogyrus]

Talking about firsts for South Africa, if these make it to 2nd instar it will be another first time breeding in the country.
Currently at dark EWL, so hopefully first instars by this week.

Awesome man, you're on a roll. Congrats!

Thanks.
Will put up a full breeding report if they hit 2nd instar.

 

[Ceratogyrus]

The leader of the pack... (And her/his brother/sister moulting right next to that)

WOW great job, sweet pics! there adorable!

 

[khatchet]

Good job. Congrats.

 

[Ceratogyrus]

Lots of moults.

 

[Nada]

Awesome, I hope I get as lucky as you with some of my projects.

Really was a lot of luck. No one has managed to get 2nd instars of rufilata in SA yet. Had 2 mated females kept in identical conditions, and one moulted and the other dropped this sac. There have also been a few cases in SA where mated females stop eating altogether and eventually die. If only these were as easy to breed as other 'rare' pokies like metallica.
Oh, and all the EWL have gone to 1st instar except for 1 that didn't hatch properly from the egg.

yeah man I hear ya. I have no idea why Metallica are more expensive than Rufilata. They're 10x easier. Heck, they're not even hard.

Agreed. Are there many successful rufilata breedings that side of the pond compared to metallica?

 

[Nada]

compared to metallica no. everyone breeds metallica lol

 

[Ceratogyrus]

Look how these are going...

 

[Nada]

Finally rehoused all of them.

And look at the size of them!

Congratulations, I have this species bred and am hoping that she will drop a sack. She molted right after the first pairing, but the male was still fresh so he went back in with her
