Jan. 10, '08: I have 1st stage nymphs of the Pamphobeteus sp."platyomma" (NW Ecuadorian Giant Pink Birdeater). 2nd stage nymphs as of Jan. 22, '08. Taking preorders now. See them in the online store of this site.

On 12/8/07, I discovered my adult female Pamphobeteus sp. "platyomma" ("NW Ecuadorian pink") made a sac in the last week. She was bred with two different males on breeding loans.

On 10/30/07, I successfully bred a pair of Pamphobeteus sp. "South Ecuador/Machalla". Female was housed in a 20 long tank for several weeks and was well acclimated and fat to Opray Winfrey standards. :) Male was introduced and instantly picked up her pheromones and started drumming with his front legs and pedipalps.
