On the bright side.. nice to see u back posting updates bud

Thank you mate! Tis good to be back, I have been missing you guys!! Hope all had a good new years.

Sorry I've just left you hanging on these babies GS, I'm due to get some more adults soon though and will work out from there.

Quick pic of one of the babies.

Wow, I know that's probably just the macro talking, but that looks big. At which instar are they now?

Yeah that's the macro talking mate, they're 4i, some going on 5i soon. These pics should give a better sense of size. You can tell with these by their telson similar to emps where it's almost white and darkens off as it matures.

Het. madraspatensis 4i pics:

Good to hear! Are they still together? I've only just separated the others, they've been fine.

Lil P.imp is doing well too. Going to molt any moment now, so fat.

Aw good to hear, have some l.m babies if u want? Our madras are all still together and still going fine we even still have 2 of those siblings of yrs living together fine they must be nearly adult now

Great new mate, get some pics up of the lil guy when you get a chance! The other siblings are 4i, some going to pop to 5i any day now. I imagine Bex's to be the same as they're all the same brood.

Madras are awesome though great choice, and our swammerdami "0rion" is Luke's favourite got a right attitude that scorpion!

How big is he now?

Um pretty much the same size as when we got him I'd guess at 4-5 inches but it's deffo not adut yet

Our female is 9cm from chelae to 1st metasoma segment. Maybe around 15+ cm total.
But I've heard male swammies should get significantly bigger than females.

great pics, they are amazing

Well these babies are coming along nicely now, won't be long before they're having their own kids.

Just a quick vid.

+1.

Just a rough video to go in here, bare with the shaking at the start.

This is a more recent brood of 23 that I left with mum for quite some time. Things were starting to get a bit cramped in there so I put them into their own communal enclosure for another molt.

that is an awesome video Jay, i loved watching that, i like the colours on those little fella's

And top of that, a very naturalistic enclosure

Hi hello every one. I'm New here i'm sorry for the off topic but can anyone help me gender my h.madraspatensis?
