Back In The Game

[Digger]

I just received six Taumantis sigiana from yen_saw (great job, yen - thank you).

First batch in over a year. These guys are indigenous to Kenya and Tanzania and mature to a beautiful lime-green. Here are a few shots of Sanaa. He seems to like the camera very much. Siblings = Desta, Nia, Zuri, Mizar and Subra.

These shots are with a 100mm maco lens and belies the fact that Sanaa is barely 10mm long at the moment.

Thanks, CA.  They're little piglets!  Hope I'm not overfeeding (gotta climb back on the learning curve).  Giving them 5 or 6 melanogasters every other day.

I LOVE those eyes! Great bunch of babies!

These are fantastic pictures! <3 They're already so striking-looking, too.

They are so cute as babies, not the same look when adult, they lose the explorer face.

they keep the baby face until subadult at least

Oh good! I love a baby face! How big will they get when adults?

 

[Digger]

Male ~ 3cm and female ~ 5cm from what I've read.  Never kept this sp before.
