Hey I might be interested in some of your equipment. Could you pm me with a detailed list if everything for sale, how much of it you are selling and the prices. Thanks!
Hello everyone. Around a week ago, my Nhandu carapoensis made a mat on the ground like it was preparing to molt. Me being the clumsy idiot I was, I went into its enclosure to clean and change its water dish. Its mat was connected to the water dish, so when I picked it up the mat got torn away...
Apparently according to a documentary I watched there are 20 species of almost indistinguishable giant hissers kept and sold in captivity. The main difference in some of them is how the males treat each other. The colony I bough has males which just ignore each other, and I have almost never...
That sounds interesting! I would like to know too as I am in the same boat, I recently purchased some red runners and have only bred mealworms until now.
I received a parcel from @Phil today with x10 T.albopilosum 1cm slings inside. Everyone was nice and healthy and I moved them into their new enclosures without only a slight hitch, some of the little ones were so curious they climbed onto my hand and wouldn't come down. The packaging was...
Ok, I think then than turkestan roaches are the way to go. I don't have enough T's (yet) to justify using crickets as a lot of people have said they die within 3 weeks. But a roach colony would be good. By chance, do red runner roaches climb smooth plastic or glass?
Personally I just take out any that turn into pupae or beetles and put then in my mealworm farm. The pupae are really juicy, but don't move so unless you tong feed the T it will not eat it. The beetles have a hard exoskeleton, and can chew on a spider after it moults which is why I always tong...
Hello everyone. I currently use Drosophila Melanogaster fruit flies as feeders for my 1cm T. albopilosum sling. However, they are a hassle to feed, as you can easily rip their wings off so they get off the tongs, and they can easily be crushed by the tongs. Additionally, they escape really...
I keep Dairy cow Porcellio laevis isopods, as well as a local species I gathered from the garden which I suspect to be Armadillium Vulgare. I know you decided not to get them, but isopods are really cool. SO I wanted to talk you out of not getting some, as they will also help with a bioactive...
Yeah if you want to keep Giant Asian Mantis go for it. I started out in the mantis hobby with a female ghost mantis, who is currently L3 and who I hope to breed. Ghost mantis are easy to keep communally, and if fed well will not try to eat each other, even after mating. Mantis are really good...
Amazing! I currently have 13 Lasius Niger Queens I collected from a local nuptial flight. Some have laid eggs, and 1 was infertile and died. I am hoping to eventually sell or trade them off, so PM me if you are interested in a really easy beginner species which is native to the UK, and is very...
