Cheers Dolby, I see your little B. occ babies, they are sweet as bro!

10x man. Have only 9 left though, needed bit of money/space for the next additions, lol

Here's mum with "three at a time, baby, YEAH!" lol fattening her up for another mating attempt.











Got some recent pics of the babies I got to sort out later.

She looks awesome Jay nice to see the mum of my three lil guys lol what crix are those ? never seen them with orange legs before

Cheers! Yup that's mum to your babies, looks like she's still got some of their molt on her back lol

They're the black crickets, they get a big bigger and bulkier to fill the beardies up. Not as quick to dart under cover if you drop them either lol bloody noisiest ones though!!

my black crickets dont have orange on them lol

You sure? They get it as they get adult I think. All the ones I've had have had it.

I can't wait till my madraspatensis is adult. I can't belive how aggressive they are! My C. gracilis look docile compared to the madraspatensis!

Yeah they sure are fiesty buggers. Not sure if males grow faster than females or vice versa but there always seems to be some that grow quicker than others. Noticed that in this brood and also some siblings me and Bex got. Probably just temp and amount of food making the difference.

I reckon the grac will give the madras a run for it's money when they get bigger.

Looking again, the black cricket in her mouth doesn't have the orange, strange, maybe just one sex at adult.

hi jamie do u keep there substrait dry or damp bro

Hey mate, definitely damp like all forest scorps. That loose coco in the pics is a little dry but that's not her enclosure.

cool mate mine is damp i was just checkin as it looked a bit dry like u said as any more of the brood molted again yet

Yeah that's just a tempory enclosure, using the one she was in as the breeding attempt tank for next week or something.

Yeah mate like i said there are a few that are so much bigger than the rest, must have hit 4i I suppose, got some more recent pics of them to sort out later that I'll put up.

cool bro mines only molted once so far so its a 3i then isnt it. and it must be due for a molt again soon then

Yep you had it at 2i mate, 3i now and will definitely hit 4i soon. Any pics you or Bex have of the babies you can stick in here with the rest.

no worrys bro i keep meaning to take some but just never get round to it lol

Jay, what happened to the pictures?
They're awesome shots.. able to revive them?

OHH NO! Where have they gone too. I have just been uploading recent pics of the babies, it's half way through, may be something to do with that. Either way I'll sort that out. I've never let a link die so far, even made a new photobucket account so I could organise them without breaking links. Damn, and cheers for the heads up mate.

While I've got you here on the subject of pics bro, do you use photoshop to add borders, watermark and labels? I've been having a play about doing it but seems to take me ages to do each one. Like Bex said recently it makes your pics look really professional and I think my pics would benefit from that. Obviously will keep them different from yours.

Hey buddy,

Thanks to you/ Bex/ DolbyR/ pluto/ street and the friendly peeps here who patronise my threads and leaving their kind comments. It actually makes the time spent organising and posting pictures more fulfilling and worthwhile.

As for my pictures, I'm using photoshop (CS4) to add the borders etc. I don't mind if we're using similar layout at all

I can send you the .psd file and its a simple file so i think you can enhance it even better then me. lolz
Let me know your email add if you're interested

Regards,
GS

Thank you GS, top guy! I'll PM you my e-mail, it's photoshop elements 9 I have.

Maybe I am just too impatient then Makes me appreciate your photos even more now knowing the time that goes into them. Also makes me want to put the time into mine too.

Keep up the AWESOME work mate, you and Hauser inspire me to keep getting that camera out and TRY to match your quality. Looking forward to seeing your competition entry's, hope your up for doing those, bet you've got something sweet up your sleeve (probably literally an A.a or P.t up there! LOL)

Cheers mate.

Right, here's some more recent pics of the madras babies.



























Cheers! Now to fix all these unexplained broken links

Great pics Jay i will have to dig my babies out to grab some pics lol madras babies are the best....just been speaking to steve he says you been round to do some photography with his scorpions too couldnt get him to join the forum great collection hehas got isnt it! we should meet round there one day if he doesnt mind of course lol
