Some new pictures!

Well, here is the first of my major updates! The pictures I promised you ages ago of the original eight slings.

With both C.marshalli and C.fasciatum living underground for the past month, I hadn't been able to get pictures which is why I was holding off. But I had to dig them out yesterday as I was cleaning everything out because of my new additions (more on that later, I want to build the suspense up!!). I had also found that both of them had moulted, but obviously I didn't know when, but checking their feeding records suggest they both moulted around 20th April.

The C.fasciatum is already showing the tiger stripe markings on her abdomen, which I am really surprised at. I wasn't expecting any adult colours for a good few months!

As always, click the images to view them in full size!

You will notice that I have added a climbing area for E.vulpinus. They are in fact semi-arboreal which coincides with the fact it never goes on the floor. Still, it looks happy enough on the cork bark now!

If you want to compare them to how they looked in the last batch of pictures, then check out the older photos here! here!
