I joined up but I'm afraid I don't have much to add, haven't had time to do much with my pair beyond feeding and watering them.

Do you have a pair of them together? Everyone else has only one, and we're not sure how they respond together, so that is something worth talking about! But, hopefully more people will join and have a lot to write about and you'll be able to read.

No, they are housed separately, I didn't want to chance keeping them together since the females are notorious for cannibalism.

Yeah, I would like to try breeding, and others are trying to convince me to do so, but I would cry if my male was eaten.

Feel free to respond to my intro thread in the group.

I have actually found in several articles that cannibalism was due to hunger during importation and that successful keeping of pairs has occured. Can't cite currently though, if you do an elaborate google search, you might be able to find it.

Well at the local store they have a trio of 2 males and a large female, however they are priced at $69 each, which is beyond my limit at the moment. I want them so badly though..

I'm definitely gonna look them up. I knew some people had bred them, but had heard from many sources that a lot of people were failing, and I heard a lot about the cannibalism. That was what made me decide not to even try.

$69 is cheaper than other prices I've heard for females, but more expensive for males.
