    The Nymphs need about a year to become adult after "hatching" and the males have a lifespan from half- to a 3/4 year while the females have about 1 year after they become adult. Some may live longer but many dont even reach that span. My very first died after the 3rd molt without reason. It's just nature, things happen. I'm glad you got some good "eggs" right there and that they are hatching :)

    I'm a snake collector but your videos give me a new respect for spiders. I had a pink toed tarantula I " inherited" from a late friend and she was a nice pet and got to have less fear of spiders but idk about owning another one I almost had a heart attack when she bit me. Until I found out it was really nothing of a bite

  • @markrandolf2897
    @markrandolf2897 Před 5 lety +15

    Man the "hobby form" is actually from Honduras and the fluffy one is from Nicaragua. They are from different localities and pairing them would contaminate their genome. Best to get an Albopilosum Honduras male and a Nicaragua female.

  • @lelandpovey2180
    @lelandpovey2180 Před 5 lety

    I can see both sides of the breeding 'problem'. B albops HF are Honduras but have been hybridised in the hobby for years as locality was not always recorded on batches coming into the UK etc, so in that respect pairing with the B albop NF is just continuing the Hobby Form line. HOWEVER, this sets back the future efforts of trying to create (re-create) two seperate lines of Honduras & Nicaragua types. Actively trying to identify each one the best we can and breed each line seperate seems the best option for future lines. Cross breeding seems a step backwards but the resulting offspring are a hybrid that already exists in the Hobby!!? Tough One!

    I haven't kept jungle nymphs but from my experience with similar species of stick insects and lead insects the larger species have females that live for around 18 to 24 months
    I'm not sure for jungle nymphs but I would assume a similar life span for them

  • @CittizinKane
    @CittizinKane Před 5 lety

    Your English is very good and I would say that the level that is taught to L2 (English as a second language) or EFL (English as a Foreign Language) is attempting to copy native speaker levels are quite difficult due to the linguistic development of English resulting in very specific grammar and syntax (word order and rules) that is difficult to master

    @The Dark Den, im building an outdoor breeding enclosure for B. lateralis roaches for a cold climate (northern USA) would you like to see how im doing it? outdoor breeding to avoid smell in the house, and to avoid infestation if one gets out (and into the warm house, vs into the freezing outdoors.) And to maybe help those who dont feel comfortable keeping the inects in their house when not in use.

    @riddermichi Před 5 lety +7

    there shouldn't be an issiue breeding them. However you wont be able to sell the slings as nicarague anymore, and the slings will be Hobby form also. The fluffyness of the slings will decrease from beign bred with a hobby form and therefor will make em hobby forms too and not nicaragua.

    • @kaiw.7565
      @kaiw.7565 Před 5 lety

      But B. albopilosum builds huge eggsacks with 500-800 eggs in it, even if you give away only the half of them they will be spread in the hobby. Even if ypu dont sell/give them away as pure ones, but as hybrids (which they are), im sure some of them will get into the hands of less expirienced keepers who might assume they are in fact nicaraguan.
      Thats (together with people who intentionaly did so) one of the reasons why the B. species had such a big issue with hybridisation.
      Im sure you will find a female B. albopilosum nicaragua, and i would not recomend breeding those two as well, simce crossbreeding is over all a real problem in the hobby - even if the slings get sold labeled correctly.
      But in the end: your spiders, your choice. But pls rethink

    • @Lisssssard
      @Lisssssard Před 5 lety
