I'm breeding my Lp, my A anax, and tomorrow night pairing up my male Amblypygid with my two females over a two night period. Phormictopus sp green female molted and is once again eating like a pig. And I have roaches coming tomorrow or the next day, Red goblins and more Kenyans, plus another 500 lateralis as a final boost for my colony. I should never have to buy them again<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I only started with 250, but let me tell you, scorplings and slings, if you have a bunch, will decimate all the nymphs in your colony very quickly. I feed babies when they'll eat, and they like to eat..If lats didn't breed so well, my small colony would have been gone long ago. In my book, theres no better feeder for inverts. By the way, the 250 lat colony has been maintaining for several months. They were almost enough to feed my juvies, slings,scorplings,and Amblypygi and still multiply and outgrow the demand. Almost. I found that pretty impressive. I'm down to a hundred now, and the nymphs are not quite so numerous, so its obviously in need of a boost.
