[Thistles]

Please tell me you named the adorable little mutants.

 

[Austin S.]

mutantious actually. If they make it.
I have my doubts. But, I had my doubts about them making it to 1st instar too.

Those infused slings are amazing, I'm surprised they managed to moult. Please keep us informed of their progress.

With every molt, there will be an update.

I'm still in awe of them.

I can imagine. I'd never thought of it happening with Ts although I have seen it in snakes. Does it have 2 mouths?

It is literally two tarantulas, with one abdomen, but it does have two sets of fangs, two sets of book lungs, two sets of spinnerets, 16 legs, two sets of eyes, etc.

Wouldn't it be fascinating to see inside the abdomen? The danger is that at some point one will try to eat the other which was what happened with a 2 headed snake I followed a few years back.

That is what I thought as well, until I noticed that they are faced completely away from each other. One set of fangs is faced in one direction, and the other is faced the opposite direction. I actually don't think they could.

My biggest concern is when they get larger, one of them will struggle so much, that I'm afraid it will detach itself at the pedicel.

That's possible. It will also be interesting to see if both or only one eats.

Fingers crossed for the 2i molt, as It is coming up very soon!

I for one will be keeping fingers crossed.

Many breedings going on right now. So instead of individual posts, I will compile them all together at a later date

Tiny update.

These three female Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens were bred the beginning of last month. The first two pictures are of Thistles females.

Euathlus sp. 'blue' (pulcherrimaklaasi)
