Hi guys/girls..
I've had my green bird eater now for a few days and I'm trying to find out some information on it but struggling to find anything...
Will this T have the same growth rate as a LP?

Here's what I have for Information

@Enn49 .. Thanks for that :)
It does say the purple version is aggressive.. But on the TSS care sheet it just says nervous for the green version I hope I can get a good picture of it for you it's really green like a metallic green..
I fed it last night took down a cricket of its own size :)

@sym We all know they can vary in character even within the same species. Good to hear it's eaten.

By the colour of it I would say it's moulted in the last couple of weeks before I got it.. Very cool looking T...
What size were your H.Incei when you got them?? I think mine were £6 roughly 1.5 inch..

Tiny lol. This is Yoda when they arrived. It had moulted in transit and you can see its feet sticking out of the pipette. I'll be honest I thought I had a DOA until I saw those feet and realised what had happened.

@Enn49 .. Very small then :)
Look forward to the female coming..
Not sure if I will introduce them straight away or give her a day to come round from transportation

@sym I think I'd give her a day or 2 to settle and have a feed then she may be less likely to attack the male.

@sym Hmmm....knowing the Phormictopus species, indeed, probably not! A bit more attack-y, I'd say...lol my cancerides is not at all cheeky...just super mean. Threat postures abound!
