Sorry to be a bit blunt, but your terminology is a bit off
only when you have second instar slings did you breed them successfully...
So what you got was a successful mating between your pair.
All this info your asking for... should this research not have been done before you even considered breeding them?
I unfortunately have not bred H. formosus so I can't help you as such but there is a breeding report that was posted by one of the other members and can be found at:
Breeding report
If you have any further questions send a PM to the breeder, I believe he will be of more help than most other people on the forum
