If, by colour change, you mean the greenish metallic tint? Nope, he's really got that! Which has me confused, because my friend's 2" (maybe not that big, I only saw it once LOL) or so versi is SOLID and BRIGHT blue... but mine is losing blue already?

That's weird.....you saw the most recent one of mine in my photo thread. Mine is only 1.5" DLS, and is the same electric blue as the day I got her.

This is interesting. You should definately continue keeping track of your little guy's color changes, and at least estimate a measurement for each molt. Since ours are roughly the same size, I'd like to see the side-by-side of each specimen from sling to full-on adult-color, and see the variation.

He just got the colour change with the last molt, too. I may be over- or under- guessing by a little bit... but definitely not by much - as in, he's definitely not 1.5" yet lol

At what size should they normally start getting adult colouration? I hadn't really thought much about it... but that would be awesome to have like, a dwarf versi haha

Don't know...this is my first versi, so I'm kinda going at it a bit blind. There's only so much research you can do until you have to experience it for yourself.

Very true!

I just watched the vid you made of Jezebel again, and my versi is definitely smaller!

Strange!

Very ironic name for a P. cambridgei, considering the rash of mean ones floating around lately.

I think Loh might already be at that blah stage, so you might have a beautiful little red furball before I do. How do you keep yours? It would be interesting to see if husbandry and / or gender play any part in the transformation process.

H. mac slings are so adorable. I don't know how you manage to get pics of your H. mac. It makes me jelous, because my little Micro doesn't want anything to do with anything.

Lamb, the P. cambridgei, is SO calm! I love photographing him - even though the lighting always manages to suck - because I can manuever him around with tongs and he just calmly walks this way or that.. unlike Aurora, who JETS everywhere. And Giacomo (my caught escapee)? Forget it! LOL

I definitely think we should compare notes on how we've been raising our versi slings.. if nothing else, it would just be fun haha

The H. mac used to zip back into his little under-leaf hide anytime I'd approach... but I think he's finally starting to realize who feeds him around here LOL He is getting much less jumpy. I am hoping for a molt within the next century, because I've yet to get one from him in the... 4? months I've had him

Lookin good. I'm still amazed how well your little camera does, especially for how old it is.

The pictures never end with me LOL I figured out what was wrong with my camera... and while I didn't fix it, I did make it bend to my will a little better LOL
Now I'm glad I didn't buy a new one today like I was going to! haha

Anyways, here are some new pics of the same ol' Ts


I am SO darn proud of my lil H. mac! He actually stayed out of his little tunnel long enough for me to take the lid off and get a picture of him without plastic inbetween!


This lil guy has ATTITUDE! He's only a little over .5", maybe close to .75"... but he attacks the tongs ever time I use them to move plants so I can get a clear shot lol


Two of three guys in there



All hardened up from her recent molt.. Ain't she lovely!
