L260 Queen Arabesques
Hi Zeberdy,
I too have a fondness for Queen arabesques.
You stated that you ordered 5 females from trimar and that all proved to be female. Did they all have pure white bellies?. Were you happy with their markings?
I ordered 2 pairs from them last week and all 4 had marbled bellies. !!!!
They also had greyish lines instead of the brilliant white markings I have seen on some queens.
I bought one large specimen locally with a pure white belly for double Trimars price but it looks magnificent ,just as in the picture below.

Hi Des
All the Queens I had are definatly females and the bellys are white. It can sometimes be a little confusing sexing these as many people believe the whole underside should be white rather than just the belly. As stated in one of my previous replies I was 100% convinced all my original Queens were male till I found eggs.
All my queens (including my established ones) seem to be slightly different in the degree of colouring for which I have no explanation. I do have a couple that are as dark as the picture but most are more gray than this.
I keep the temprature at 82 degrees.

Nope ,dont think the cave is big enough for the two of them ,there is now way out for her,he can get in with her up the top of the cave,but not wide enough for her to get past,as its only wide enough for him...........could it be a problem?
Just manages to coax em out the small cave,she just couldnt move ,and placed em in a bigger one ,so hopefully,they can get it on now,and she can escape if she wants too,as the male has her blocked sideways at the mo,as he could only block her in straight up and down,in the last 1
