These look fantastic, Marius!

 

[Teamonger]

Those are gorgeous, can't wait to see them grow up!

 

[Zeppy44]

Wow! Nice pics.

 

[Marius Pohl]

Hey,

Thank you all!  My female moulted to adult a couple of days ago, the male still needs a few more days.

She is a beauty, but not the biggest one

 

[Teamonger]

Wow! So tiny and so beautiful, that is an amazing species!

Are these difficult to care for? 

 

[Marius Pohl]

Hey,

Actually they are quite easy to keep. I have them around 28-30°C during the day and 21-23°C at night. I mist them every day.

I heard that the breeding should be more difficult, but hopefully I can try it on myself. Will keep you updated.

regards Marius

Hey,

A while ago my male molted to adult. They have been together for 10 days now and male was sitting on the female quite a lot, but i´ve never seen a mating yet, so let us hope he did his job.

They are so cute and photogenic! They look like they're posing for you.

 

[Marius Pohl]

Thank you.

And yes they´re around 3cm. I hope the female is laying her first ootheca in the next few days
