D. Desiccata breeding

[Andrew]

Ive got a quick question about breeding D. Desiccata's. It turns out I have 2 females, and 3 males. Should I slow down the males growth? Do the males of this species tend to grow a lot faster than the females?

Thanks,

Andrew

Na, not really, they usually have a similar growth rate, but if yiu do find that happening, then slow it down later on in thier life, as you could really alter thier sizes starting it early.

Thanks.

Really, does that apply to other species as well?

Andrew, my pregnant female D. Dessicata hasn't been eating, though I've tried moths & crickets. Have you ever had this happen to yours ?

Dino, maybe you should look at the date of his post, if you had you would notice it says March 1st. Maybe he doesn't have them now but he did then.
