Ghostie's Pics Thread

Couple of bad pictures..

First of Idolo and second one of my ghosts is getting too big for it's deli cup with a fresh molt!

I think I will put the Idolos together after another molt or so. They seem a little frail now and want them to strengthen up some.

 

[Ghostie]

Well lost another Idolo last night. I think this one never quite recovered from shipping. The other three I have left look to be nice and strong so far. May have to try and order a couple more for backup.

RIP little buddy

Also think two of my ghosts are now subadult female. May have to trade them off in classifieds section of the site.

One last set..

Acromantis Magna female "having a drink" and taking a little walk for exercise.

Taking a brake from the male for a while longer. hehe

Great pics of your ghost! They're such a cool looking breed! Sorry about your idolo. I hope the rest make it!

 

[Precarious]

That's pretty little Ghost you've got there.

Too bad about the Idolo.

Here's one of my Idolos made it to L2. Lost another Idolo L1 yesterday too! :blink:

[Precarious]

Nice! One of mine just molted. This is what I have to look forward to! Woo-hoo!

 

[Ghostie]

Aren't they sexy! haha

My second one I have left made it to L2 last night also! They look great!

 

[LauraMG]

Those purple markings are stunning! I'm jealous of you guys!

 

[Ghostie]

They're droppin' like flies! Lol don't be too jealous! That might be the last pic I get of one.

We will be lucky if we have a pair to breed between the two of us. :blink: :lol:

Woot! Mr Gongy molting to sub adult when I woke up!

Looks like he is going to make it! He regrew a leg too! Niiiice. You can see the molt only hanging by three legs! lol Can't believe he actually takes up half the cube worth of space to molt! Dang he's huge now!

Check it out my first fruit fly cultures already have maggots in less than a week! No more paying $10 for a jar of FF's!

Haha never thought I would be so happy to see maggots! Ewww!

Thank you!

 

[Precarious]

Cool! I've tried to give mine honey and they never showed any interest. I'll have to try again.

Glad to see your violins are doing well. Another of my ghosts molted to adult female yesterday.

 

[LauraMG]

Zorak (my Chinese) always tries to eat the toothpick when I give her honey! :lol: I have to blow on her so she'll let it loose! Great pics though! Did you get your good camera back?

 

[Ghostie]

No she still needs the good camera for selling houses.

Not until I find another camera for her.

I'm still using my Nikon S550 point and shoot. Just doing some careful editing!

Check out some of those mandibles. :wub:

Honey is a great way to get mandible shots.
