An Armadillidium Vulgare I picked out for the morph tub. Had a tub collapse due to too much moisture build up while im balancing and trying some new things in the lab, the substrate had become sodden and therefore mould had run rampant. This gas build up can kill your pods if it gets out of hand, and alas, I lost at least 8 unusual vulgare that I had hand selected.
A silver lining...amongst the fallen comrades, this lady clung on, after realising she was heavily gravid, and by human eye I could see some kind of morphological difference in her underside...I really wasn't too sure if it was just her final death knell. I secured her comfort, exposed her to cold oxygen and carbon dioxide in turn to get some response.
Then left her in a dry spot....this is what happened next. Birth!
I was very doubtful she would make it, but absolutely stoked she would pass on genes gained in the tub and her life would not be in vain....BUT SHE LIVES! Gave birth to oodles of gorgeous teeny white babies and went on her way! Excellent result, and honestly very happy to get these shots!
Life is incredible 🌱
