Pics of our little alien bugs! They were really fast so our pics are not the best but I wanted to get something up. They are each a little over an inch to maybe an inch and a half long, will try to measure once they are closer to or from a molt when they slow down a bit. They are living in toss away storage container, as you can see in one of the pictures we have them stacked, but  just for the sake of getting them all in one picture since most of the air holes are in the lids we store them separately.We will upgrade the size of the container when they get a little bigger, but for now its perfect size, you don't want them having too much room or it makes it harder for them to find their food.  Still not sure on the sex of them yet, counting segments this young is hard, and it makes me thing we have all males! I sure hope not. Its easier to tell when they are adults, just due to the body shape. Females a have fat wide bodies and boys have skinny bodies pretty much all one size from the head down.
