i need to find or get new triple lens magnifiers.  i can not take good pics of small things without one.... and the only one i can find SUCKS!




here is the best recent pic... i think shot on May 25, 2009
i haven't fed her for a couple/few weeks and she keeps swelling. i actually need to get her some food pretty soon so she doesn't metabolize any of the embryos (if she is gravid).  i am almost certain she has continued to swell even though i haven't fed her for a while.  er, it i mean... don't know it is a she yet

awesome


tons of WC for sale ads, one reference to losing a clutch of babies, and maybe one person who got a brood to independence. my first google pass isn't exactly encouraging

no hard, useful information googleable, it seems

Mine is definitely gravid.  It looks like its going to explode soon!  It dug itself a nice little burrow where I think its going to give birth.

Good god, I would definitely say that she is gravid. She's as big as one of my female C. sculps was - she popped and now she's got 25+ babies on her back! Good luck - and keep taking pics!
