So many together in one place successfully? Brilliant. And, just an update, I recently read an article on GBB's and why their guardians mistake them for mostly arboreal. It claimed that in the wild, these critters like to live close to the ground but at the top of low lying shrubbery. It is there that they like to develop a canopy of web which helps keep out light and at the same time catch the prey they need. So, mulling this over, I decided to turn her enclosure on it's side and offer her a different view of life, so to speak. She immediately crawled to the top of a leaf as close to the lid as she could, but, the next morning when I came down and checked, she had found her way all around her home and left a clothesline of web from one end to the other and had perched herself snuggly between a piece of cork bark and the side of her tank, ON THE SUBSTRATE!!!!!! Talk about a blushing moment! I did offer her a hide, but she wanted to be between a rock and a hard place and it is there that she has made her bed. There is also now an 60W ceramic heater that only gets shut off at night so as to give both her and Pickles (it heats one side of his tank, as well) the heat they seem to appreciate. Pickles molted successfully and though he's still recuperating in his hide and has yet to emerge, I can peek in and see that he has gotten HUMUNGOUS!!!! I mean HUGE! Like by two sizes in one molt! I plan on feeding him a Dubia on Sunday to see how he does. Knowing him he'll gobble it up like he's been starving since hatching from the sac. Anyway, not to bore you any longer, just wanted to share and say conrats on your critters. Nice job <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Are they all females or a mix or ?</p></blockquote><p></p>
