Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hisserdude" data-source="post: 84690" data-attributes="member: 4652">Well, most of these guys are still going strong, though one of them (Mangle), may pass away very soon. Jiminy molted into an adult male, and Swirl just reached maturity a few days ago, so I now have an adult pair! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> I have placed the male's cage within the female's new enclosure to get them more familiarized with each other, (not sure if that makes any sense but I'm doing it anyway), and once the female plumps up a bit I will attempt to mate them, which I may or may not film. Here are some pictures of Swirl as an adult:<img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U125mGCMs1Q/V4GrgTwT2JI/AAAAAAAAEqU/Y-G6XDve6As1WQ-R5c0kJxajnUhe5CBOwCLcB/s1600/JC%252326.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r_0oVKF3WQQ/V4GrgdFeXuI/AAAAAAAAEqY/H0N05v6b_FoKjpFJTwzDAhbtkkPA_KLJQCLcB/s1600/JC%252327.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zjz3TwZ5DIs/V4GrhC6AlsI/AAAAAAAAEqc/2G3sjcxY2lULQtagR-QLpoJ8Ssr35vfmQCLcB/s1600/JC%252328.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Will let you all know what ends up happening when I mate them, hopefully it will end with both of them alive, or atleast with the female alive...</blockquote>
