Haha. No way I'm going to buy a pair of the same sex unless I wanted some specimens for pinning. xD It's a m & f pair. ;)

[09.04.15] I ordered a pair of DHH (minor male- 98mm) on Friday last week from Japan and it finally came today after parcelforce managed to muck things up again. The pair still seem to be inactive as neither of them were interested in the jellies or banana I had offered them and dug down after...

Yes, a few people in Africa and Europe but I believe there aren't any people keeping them in the U.S. ... at least I haven't seen anybody from the U.S. talking about them recently.

[09.04.15] 2 weeks since the last weight check and they are all still at the same instar. Date: 9th, April No.1 (M,L2)- 11g [+3g] No.2 (F,L3)- 16g [+5g] No.3 (F,L3)- 13g [+4g] No.4 (F,L2)- 11g [+3g] No.5 (F,L2)- 07g [+3g]

[26.03.15] I traded some Acrophylla wuelfingi nymphs for 5x L2 larvae of M. ugandensis a few days ago and received the larvae today. Two of the larvae were early L3s but out of the five, only one is a male... and it's the second smallest. LOL I'm going to try keeping the male a few degrees...

I saved up my pocket money from my grandma for 12 years without spending anything for the intermediate DSLR I have now (Canon EOS 550D/Rebel T2i)... as I bought it when I was 12. I'm 16 now and I'm still saving up for my first lens which I'm planning will be a Canon 100m f/2.8L macro, using the...

It's not all about the megapixels so 9MP is plenty. :) I don't think you can do much as that is a point and shoot camera but the photos are good enough. If you get a DSLR, consider buying a reverse ring or extension tubes to get up close using the cheap, kit lens that comes with the body...

I haven't updated this thread in 4 months. LOL. They are both adults already so I will update this thread with photos and moulting videos tomorrow. ;) Sneak peak, haha: IMG_2266 by Darkrai283, on Flickr

[20.03.15] The first ooth hatched after 90 days in incubation at cool temperatures around 19-22C. About a fifth of the ooth didn't hatch but I still got a whopping 98 nymphs! Very happy and surprised considering this was the first ooth... which usually has lower hatch rates than others laid...

[28.02.15] The female flapping her wings.

[14.02.15] HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! It's so ironic that this had to happen on this special day. xD The male is now a goner... but he lasted for 85 DAYS (almost 3 months) on the female's back without getting off once since he first mated with her. He was a dedicated lad. :D IMG_0953 by...

[21.01.15] They make a lovely trio... LOL IMG_0616 by Darkrai283, on Flickr

[16.01.15] She laid her second ooth today... with the male STILL on her back. :) He still has not gotten off since he first mounted and connected with her. I have also witnessed him mate a couple of times since the last ooth as laid as well.

[23.12.15] Another pic of her first ooth which I forgot to include in one of the previous posts. Here are also two pics of the male eating a BBF while still on the female's back. IMG_0195 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_0202 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_0204 by Darkrai283, on Flickr

[02.04.15] The male moulted to subadult and he is mahooosive. :) Almost rivals an adult female Deroplatys desiccata. Untitled by Darkrai283, on Flickr Untitled by Darkrai283, on Flickr

[28.03.15] I lost the female to an infection of some sort... but here's a pic of the male (pre-sub) looking bigggg. :) IMG_2171 by Darkrai283, on Flickr

[23.02.15] Two pics of the male as he is now a pre-pre-subadult. :) IMG_2813 by Darkrai283, on Flickr IMG_2800 by Darkrai283, on Flickr
