[QUOTE="warpdrive, post: 189057, member: 4491"] thanks Yen. you did a fantastic job with your pictures. keep up the great work. since I was already going to split up some of your Idolos today into 2 exoteras from the net cage they are in, NOW I'll probably just transfer the females and keep the males in the net cage for another molt. WHY? well my net cage doesn't have any extra heat from a light bulb. the temps in my bedroom (aka:bug room) can be between 78F-84F durring the day, and 74F-78F at night. temps might be a bit low in the room, but my guys are eating well and don't seem to be effected. the males growth should be a bit slower as compared to the girls in an exoterra with a 40W or 60W bulb. I'll still move my males to an exoterra in a week (or slightly less). I may also move them back to a net cage after molting for a week or so, again to help slow the males groth down. what is so great about us silly people who can now sex their Idlos sooner is the fact that you now don't have to start slowing down the males at L6 or above. as this can sometimes weaken them before they molt. in other words, we can now slow down the growth of the males even slower and safer. I like that. Harry oh and Yen, you did such a great job that the death threats should now stop. have a great day. [/QUOTE]
