so i hadn't seen it for quite some while, and i saw it just now and i am not very happy with what i just witnessed haha. its legs looked almost black, and the stripes on its legs were very pronounced...its palps also looked split... i couldn't see its abdomen but it appeared overall a darker color...

i will not be real thrilled if the first t i ever have to dig up and pack to ship is an angry lividium....ah well i guess it was bound to happen eventually

If he is indeed a male, pm me right away! I have a freshly molted female who is the most vivid blue one I've ever seen! I've been dying to breed her and see if she will pass on her "blue genes"!!

well...if we were to breed them i have a few general questions if anybody can answer them.

how long would it take to produce a sack? how many slings could we expect? and aprox. how long would it take for slings to grow into adults?
