Well finally!! Our A.metallicas are molting into 2nd instars now...got a few pics to share - sort of a mini molt sequence.
These guys should be up for sale before too much longer!

Nice looking pics.It's so cool to see slings go from eggs with legs to adults.

Yep...100mm...and thanks!!! But it's the flash that does it too, along with the flash diffuser (the diffuser makes a huge difference). Here's the one I use:

Awesome. Since photography is such a big thing in this hobby, Maybe you could do a new type of tutorial video. All your videos are really informative and helpful and this would add to the already extensive library you have. Just an idea. (that would help me greatly and probably many others):clap:

The first picture is actually pretty creepy, haha. Reminds me of Golem for some reason...

I second this suggestion. Even just a quick video about what equipment you use would be cool. :)
