Well okay maybe not only /my/ Ts but N8tive's aswell.

So His Regalis molted into its Juvinile stage, it is now being called a 'HE' because the stripe down the abdomen is still dark with a white stripe on either side. <3 the new caution tape legs.

I have 3 pumpkins left from the original 7. #1(Uno), #4, and #6

Uno molted earlier this week and the legs sprawling out of their little den looked pretty big. This is the biggest size jump between instars any of them have had; so i reached in and grabbed the molt.

N8tive and i soaked it in water for a little while and i was able to (with tweezers) get the abdomen stretched out enough to get a clear view of the booklungs.

A moment ago, Uno came out of the den and my gender identification was correct.

Uno is now a HE <3

Long auburn legs with hairs that look like thorns, a narrow abdomen and no epigastric furrow to be spoken of.

I know its just the juvenile stage but i am about 98% sure. The molt doesn't lie lol.

Im still pretty upset that more than half of my collection died because of my ignorance. Losing #5 was the hardest...He/She was the best webber and we'd gotten very attached, talking on the hone frequently about how we couldnt wait to get home and see what they'd made during the day.

Anyway, ive been trying to post pictures from my phone but i keep getting an error messege when i attach the photo, TForums tells me theres a 'memory error'...bummer.

So far we have now:

Females:

Esmeralda (zebra leg)
Tabitha (curly hair)
unnamed rose hair
unnamed sun tiger

Males:

Gary (N8tive gave hime some fancy latin name that i can never remember so i call him Gary)
Gary is a pink toe.
Raja (black forest scorpion)
Regalis (still no name)
Uno (H.sp.Colombia Gros)

Slings:
red knee
red rump
#4 (h.sp.coG)
#6 (h.sp.coG)
Indian Violet

The Tanzanian Whip scorpion is doing wonderfully despite her deformed right arm,.shes feeding well and hopefully her next molt with nullify the deformity <3 We fixed her enclosure and now she has plenty of choices in molt anchors.

Our Mexican Whip Scorpion sadly passed away a few days ago...she was my favorite.

She was a great hunter and we observed her feeding every week like clockwork, which was a rare treat since i guess most people dont see whippers eat often.

She went from chasing a tiny cricket with her arms out like a maniac to slumped over, ihave no idea what happend. there was no trial and error there..i really have no idea.

But yes, everyone is doing well, id post pictures if i could..and yeah,.

:D

Sorry about the losses but good to hear the others are doing well!

I can't post pics from my phone either. I have to transfer them to my laptop. I thinks it's cause they're a png file and the site is uploading them as jpg which makes no sense.

get imgur, you can set it to private, and it saves the headache,
I upload mine using their app, then just use their img links,
they even do different size thumbs for you. saves a world of aggravation.

I have picsart app on my phone to convert them to jpg, add text, etc. Works well and i can make the pics brighter and clean them up a bit ;)

@WhiteRabbit sorry to bring it up but what happened that the others died? u say it was due to ur ignorance, if u already shared i am sorry but it might me good for other to read to learn from ur mistakes.

in one, the humidity was too high. in another it was too low. we lost #7 and #5 due to bad molts..it was rough..
