who donated the g.rosea slings at the last meeting???

Just curious of their hatch date? I got one and shes a little piggy!!! she's munched 3 crickets since then and has more than doubled in size!!!

That would be me lol

Believe it or not those were born the July before last. Those were the smaller of the group, and I believe they have molted recently and thus should be pretty piggish. I am sure you are aware G. rosea grow pretty slow generally speaking.

For the time I had them (and all 200 others!) They would often go through strange periods of fasting, pigging out, molting frequently, never molting, etc. I am guessing those will fatten up and you won't see them molt for many months from now. Then again they aren't very predictable!

The slow growth rate *could* indicate female too ;)

Yes she still had a previous molt in there with her. I'm glad to know of her stages because i would have freaked out if she randomly stopped eating lol My mind is still wired to reptiles whereas if they dont eat its no bueno... i need to reconfigure.
