No man you did not do good.. u did great! ;-P My lobata females are about a couple sheds away from adult.. but if you want you could drop by and pick it up as a future girlfriend for your male. =)

The Dessicata.. you're gonna have to try to find from someone else.. I only had 2 female left and one fell down during a molt while I was at work. =(
