The way it’s sitting 😂

He/She molted less than 24 hours later. Now it’s chilling. I can’t wait to get a better look at its abdomen and see if it’s a boy or girl. Will attach some photos below

Edit: Sorry the video is so bright, it’s all the grow lights for my plants :P

Baby enjoying his?her? waterdrops. Gotta make sure to stay hydrated before a molt!

He/She is the cutest pale sage color with a hint of pink at the abdomen. Very peaceful and easy baby.

Can you all drop pictures of your orange monroes? I swear they all look so different I don’t even know what it’s supposed to look like anymore

At this point you could show me any succulent that grows in a rosette shape with rounded leaves and tell me it’s an orange monroe and I’d believe you.

This is supposedly an orange monroe but it doesn’t look like any of the ones I’ve seen online.

Do they actually know if their colors are camouflaged? Lol I’m picking stuff to match their colors, but why?

I’ve got several stagmomantis limbata babies hatched from the same ooth and their range of colors are so interesting. The mama was green.

I lined up five babies near my plants’ grow lights and each one has turned to face the light and flattened stiff as a board. It somehow looks more ridiculous in person.

What are they doing? Are they absorbing warmth? Like what.
