My first T, a 2" female GBB, did not survive her first molt in my care <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />(  I was partway through reading Schultz and Schultz and I'm pretty certain if I had read it entirely beforehand, my Vanessa would still be with me. So now I'm obsessed with doing research!  Just wish there were more books out there but forums are great.I now have an immature pair of A. metallicas to hopefully breed some day (Brad and Angelina), and a fabulous A. genic (Contessa).  I'm absolutely in love!  (Plus I have 4 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and 8 hermit crabs <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />If anyone has any experience with Vitalius paranaensis, please please please let me know!  May be next on my list.Thanks to everyone interested in sharing and learning!</blockquote>
