Rhombodera cf valida Hatch

[Precarious]

Looks like another big hatch...

I hope others are having some success breeding these because this is likely my last generation. I'll sell these off at L2 and that will be it. I really like them but there are too many other species to explore.

Yay! Everyone else I know was having trouble with them. You might be the only one with them.

 

[Fishe]

wow, ive always wanted some of these

Son of a... I was afraid of that. It's the only reason I went another generation. I don't want them to die out of culture but I'd really like to move on.

Same thing happened to the marbleds. You're the hero this forum needs.

Now is your chance! unk:

Add Pseudoharpax virescens to that list. I bred and sold so many and didn't see any around after that generation. It's frustrating. I hope that doesn't happen with Sphodropoda quinquedens. I'll keep them going a few generation for sure. They aren't much trouble.

Yay! YAy! Yay!

Look at all those little buggers!

I have a female without a male, unfortunately I don't think I'll have any offspring from her since I don't know of anyone with males her age.

I'd love to get some from you when you're selling them off as well!

 

[twolfe]

Great news!

 

[sally]

Yes! Congrats... I want these too, Yay!

I like the close up on the nymphs bet these guys would be nice to have,I'm a bit done with rekeeping stallis myself lol

It's frustrating. I hope that doesn't happen with Sphodropoda quinquedens.

It wont happen, I think there's enough interest to keep them alive and well just don't let them go 2-3 at a time.

Congrats on the hatch of valida I would like to take some on.

 

[Paradoxica]

Maybe make them available to Breeders Only?

That or...

I nominate Bug Trader as official Guardian of all species in culture :clown: ... :shifty: ... :smarty:

Nice mega hatch! Hope the ones in the middle aren't claustrophobic?

Sorry man my plates full, and starting to pour off onto the table and floor. We need group efforts, one reason I send random stuff to people to raise and breed. No one person should have all of one species in their possession it risks losing the entire species or bloodline in the hobby.

 

[Precarious]

Well I'm glad to hear people are interested in the nymphs. That gives me some hope. I'll post the ad once they're close to L2.

I hope you're right.

Believe it or not they're still hatching! Those photos are just the first flush of nymphs. They hatch in waves. There have been 3 or 4 more waves just as big. Last time I thought they would never stop coming.

Wow! Out of curiosity, what is the mortality rate of these guys at L1??

Mortality rate is no more than any other species. There is no big die off.

Hatch is finally dying down.

Each black dot is the skull cap at the end of the egg case. If you could count every dot or thread you'd know how many hatched.
