12 more to go!!

 
Very cool photo shoot! I love it! I just got some great moulting pics of my majuscula.

 
I shouldve been able to guess lol

I set my pre sub female at 90 so she will to adult quickly with everyone else males
creos love hot temps but u need to feed them really well

at room temp my subadults need only 12 flies to complete the subadult stage, but hotter temps speed up their metabolism so u will need to be sure to feed her enough so she doesnt starve ;) , but u probably already knew that :D

oh speaking of flies i gotta go feed blephs soon :D
