My female has molted to a adult like a week ago and one of her arms which was damaged as a sub did not heal so she has one stub but she is a terror on flies with her one good arm and no fly can stand up to her and live when she is hungry and man I love this species and so happy I have the opportunity to have and try to raise these and just wondering when I do breed them would you just mist the inside of the deli cup if you glue any of their ooths to the lid and just not get it wet and I got a male thats prob 4-6 weeks old and the female will be close to 3 weeks soon so would this be perfect breeding age or should I wait a little longer but getting another male in case but have not made any attempts at breeding being she is only about 2 weeks into being a adult!

around 2-3 weeks. My female wouldn't allow mating and she was a week old

I hear breeding them is alot harder or as hard as breeding orchids and since I never bred orchids this is going to be a challenge and just need to know the basics on davisoni breeding and what not to do!

Just got a ooth from my 2nd girl mated so 2 in total so far. You need to feed the female VERY well before and during any mating attempt Massaman, by very well I mean 10+ flies or he will be on the menu...

chrisp was telling me his are a rose pink color

mine used to be like that, but since i kept her in a net cage she has turned green/yellow!

well breeding this species from what I been told can be tough and ismart was lucky with his as many others I was told have failed to produce anything or the females all gone eggbound!

My parymenopus female has gradually become more yellow over the last couple days. I really like her color:

What are you talking about? That was not luck, but pure skill! Na it probably was 99% luck. :lol:
