I haven't been actively posting sorry guys! Its just me behind the scenes here and I also have a collection of crested geckos, and a small colony of flying geckos that I love! So most of my time goes to providing the necessary care to my beloved friends! Lately, I've been working on enclosure upgrades too. Ive been building some 18×24 planted bioactives for my cresties and I'm working on a large tank for my flying geckos to move into! Its been fun.

Just wanted to do a little update on some of the reasons Ive been a little quiet this last couple weeks! Thanks for your support!

Hello spood fam! I hope you all enjoyed your holiday last week!

I have a few updates for you guys that I've been waiting to share. Ive been busy building vivariums all week! 🙈

First off, Orchid and Bartlett kiddos are about to emerge. This is mama Orchid in these photos proudly outside her nest! I think she's been telling them its okay to leave now 😆 Im so happy about this line! This is a bryantae audax and big bend audax mix. Dad was fused spot big bend and mama is already from a bryantae x big bend pairing of my previous year!!

Here's some more updates about my other bryantae audax lines -

Caladium and Noris babies have hatched.
Jasmine's 4th clutch with me has emerged.
Umber has laid a huge sac after pairing with Celadon!

This makes 4 audax lines so far 1 bryantae x big bend and the others bryantae x bryantae from Colorado.
👏🫶👏
I am THRILLED.

Stay tuned to meet Jasmine's first clutch which will be available VERY soon! 💖

Babies have hatched!!!! Eeeeek

Good morning and happy Thursday! I think it's safe for me to announce this. 🤞😅

Update: Orchid has been sitting on an eggsac since last Friday! Almost one week. In my experience, if they are going to eat their eggs due to infertility it happens within the first 24 to 48 hours. SO, I'm hoping the last pairing with Bartlett was successful and that these eggs are fertile! They look great to me!

I've been checking her every morning, and multiple times throughout the day, trying to least disturb her as possible. 🤣😍

I'm so thrilled! I produced Orchid from Sugarloaf and Garfield. And Bartlett is from Quesos! Soooo exciting. Praying to the spider gods let these babies hatch! 😂

Good morning and happy FriYAY! I thought it'd be fun today to share something that made you happy this week! Usually I do this in the Plants and Spoods Group but I thought I'd do it on my page this time!

Sooooo, to celebrate the end of the week and the weekend 🙌 share something that made you happy this week in the comments!

I'll go first- Clemy's babies emerging with me! She was basically surrendered from me, her last owner didnt know she was gravid. Clemys last two clutches were dried up in her nest, not emerged, when I got her so I'm very happy to give her and these babies a chance! Look at how tiny they are when they first emerge!!!

Annnd go-

Hello! Another update for you all 🥰Most likely I will start ad0ptions again in January after the holidays and Mama Jasmines babies molt again! They are phidippus audax bryantae.

I MIGHT open ad0ptions earlier to local only for the spoods who are ready before the mass majority of them. If this interests you and you're local to the Cincinnati region, please msg me!

For a reminder (this won't be the only one as I open ad0ptions later) I ship ONLY hub to hub in the winter and ONLY overnight, so long as weather permits at both mine and your location. I will have phase packs available.

More to come and thank you for your continued support! I have such a passion for these spoods and am glad to share it 💗 they deserve it!
