Death

Rosie, my sons G.rosea, died today... It was my own fault,the previous day I placed another tank on top of hers and the lid collapsed squashing her. She battled on through the night but was dead this afternoon when I checked on her.. I will never make that mistake ever again. I feel terribly guilty that my stupidity caused her death..

Failed Mating Attempt

The male H.lividum has been eaten.He just pushed his look too many times. He was in there for 3 hours but he was too close to the female to be removed. It looks like the female has took a bite off the male too. This is a bad situation.

Nakkah looks fine this morning. It has been a few hours since the indecent and is still alive. So fingers crossed.

I seen it done many times on youtube but I never been able to see it for my self.. But i was just about to drop the roach in her hole and she flew out of hiding and grabbed it from the tweezers. I will definitely be trying to catch this on video next feeding time!!!!
