[QUOTE="ohaple, post: 335633, member: 11034"] Well, she passed away on new years. She was just a little L2 when we got her in October of 2018. She made it to 13-14 months and was rather healthy the entire time. No failed molts and almost never any vomit. She was a good hunter and even grabbed two cockroaches at once on a couple occasions. She was fed primarily fruit flies when young, then dubia and green babana roaches for most of her adult life. She got flies on occasion and would hunt giant canyon isopods in her enclosure sometimes. I always fed her feeders with Bug Burger, nutritional yeast, hardwood leaf litter, and scrap veggies. Overall I would consider it a success. After she molted to adulthood we tried not to handle her much and only fed her once a week unless her abdomen looked thin. You can see her as a nymph in my profile photo. I have her and our male Ghost in storage to potentially mount and display with our giant rainforest mantis. Unfortunately the beautiful long crest on our male broke when he died. I just need a little bit to detach myself from them emotionally. [/QUOTE]
