This immac was originally from Anneth but then i bough it of Nat, the other week she dissapeared for a week and i didn't even notice, when i did i went looking for her and found her hibernating, i brough her out with some warm water but she slithered off to the soil and went into hibernation again, well i decided to leave her and see what she does, and after a few more days, she came out, ate loads and has started growing, from what i've heard for the first time in a year and shes only 3½cm Apparently the rest of the batch that was sold out to loads of people on here have all died, never grew and didn't eat properly, I don't know why i am telling you, just thought you'd like to know

Well done Sarah, still trying to get my immacs to grow, they arent the same batch but look very similar. Ive decided on a hands off approach to see if the handling was stressing them out a bit, they are eating more, ive increased the humidity in their tank and given them a pool. They are in with the immacs i got from felix which are doing really well in the conditions. Im really hoping the other two start to grow soon with my new methods.
Congrats on getting some growth, shes beautiful.

I don't quite understand what you mean. Are you saying calcium spray encouraged or hindered their growth?

Oh sorry, calcium spray has helped definately they have grown a few mm since ive started using about two weeks ago. Before that they hadnt grown at all for 6 months so its definately helping but i was hoping for a more dramatic change. However it has done amazing things for my iredalei especially the one with really strange deformities which actually seems to be getting better and very quickly.
