if you bought the ooth in a flower shop it's either chinese or european. large "fluffy" looking ooth is chinese, european ooth is somewhat smoother in appearance. and you should be able to determine gender at L4-L5
these guys just molted to L3 last week. eating anything and everything in sight (including each other!!) lots of them left. you can't go wrong at this size! $3 each $22 express overnight shipping (guaranteed) $5 priority 2-3 day (no guarantee, but have shipped at L1-L2 with no mortality!)pm me...
just got a female black widow from him. (even though he hates them and really didn't want to even possess it for a short time) excellent communication and shipping. a pleasure (on my part :lol: )
I just recieved a pair of these for my birthday from my wife ( best gift ever) :D but i really know nothing about them. I've got the Dec. '05 issue of invertebrates magazine with them on the cover but i need more info. I know they're predatory, and mean as heck but that's about it.if anyone's...
honestly, i don't know.i stuck the male with the female and he was with her for a day or 2 before i saw him on her back.i never actually witnessed "mating" just him riding around on her back. the same for the second male. but i guess they mated cause ooth #1 was fertile!
:D my female has given me 4 ooths so far and was mated with 2 males (for good measure) and last night the first has begun to hatch. 5 nymphs so far. how many should i expect?and do they hatch over days or is this it?
