Lol, so all these "met's available soon" stories are because of some gravid females?
Not that I don't have faith in scarab (As he has managed to breed them before, so he is the man for the job), but he will agree as much as I that you shouldn't start counting too early.
If only every mated female equaled guaranteed slings.

Then again a hobby without challenges kind of sucks.

"Reminds me of making pyrotechnics...a few close calls/ miss fires/ missing apogee or aerial shells etc etc etc"
CATo's were the best "aerial shell leaving the mortar to land a few feet next to it, instead of being blown into the sky, where a burst charge sets it off, now a CATO is a aerial shell that goes off on the ground, spectacular but extremely dangerous" Took me 17 years to know what I know now, even pro's have a few screw ups.

I guess you have 2 think more then twice before saying ANYTHING on the forum.... (so all these "met's available soon" stories are because of some gravid females?). There's no stories ... Just something someone said.... No one meant anything bad and no one wanted to start something...... I agree with not countin ur chickens. Its just workin up everyone. Let's leave it where it is. And hope for the best.

Trust me, I really do hope for the best, seen as one of scarab's females are chilling at my place.
I just find it funny that there has been this buzz on the forum for the last week or so from a few people who are getting these metallica babies soon, but yet there isn't even an eggcase (Unless people are talking about another batch?).

If only it were that easy.

the man for the job...

Let's make that the Gooty job please, else I will have hopeful guys lining up at my gate expecting more than I am willing to give... :laugh:
Let us not fight over ghost egg cases, let's leave that for when we have slings, then we'll see a REAL brawl...
