First shed

I just got these two carnivorous plants. I have been seeing fungus Gnats and a couple fruit flies buzzing around so I bought these from an online store. The pitcher is “nepenthes suki” and the little sundew is “drosera capensis” is there anybody that has experience with these plants that’s...

I’m going for a ro unit next then the mist king after that. It never occurred to me that this hobby would be so expensive. I have to limit my self to getting one or two things at a time or I’ll go broke! But it’s worth it I really would like to go bioactive eventually.

Yes it’s been two weeks. He is doing good! It’s been up and down in progress as far as him being social. One day he’s comfortable with me the next I can’t even come near his cage. He hates the hand mister. And will only eat crickets still. He watches silkworms like he’s watching a tv or...

@JoXie411 these came with a warning label lol I only lost one and I was able to catch it. I’m getting used to running around after crickets.

@Beman i split them up into 3 totes. My plan was to let the larger ones breed, I have egg bins for them to lay in and I wanted to try to incubate them. But I’m not sure I’ll need any more for a while now!

So I ordered 560 crickets from a website. 500-1/2” & 60-1” crickets, and 4 egg flats. But I meant to order the 500-1/2” & 60- 3/4”. So I decided to call the supplier and see if I could catch them before they shipped and get it changed, 1” & 3/4” are the same price. They told me no problem, and...

Thanks, They are Alphitobius diaperinus, I was nervous to put them in I threw a dead dubia in their shipping container and they were ferocious! They finished it in 5 mins. They reminded me of Piranhas. maybe they were just hungry but it made me think if they wanted to they could decimate my...

~Buffalo beetles (also known as lesser mealworms) are a natural way to keep your insect colonies clean; they will eat any decaying organic material. They help fight mold, fungi, mites, flies and keep odors at a minimum. They will not compete with your colony for resources. The resulting larvae...

Yeah that’s him in the pic he’s between 2-3 months I’ve only had him a week. I’m not giving up on it though, I have the Dubias going still so I hope he’ll change his mind eventually. I kinda enjoy the feeders too. Being able to have a successful environment for something is interesting &...

@Rst_Cham He acts like the other feeders I mentioned above aren’t even there. I set up a feeder run cup and he picked the crickets off from in between the Dubia roaches.

For what it’s worth I made an order from dubiaroaches.com and everything came healthy I ordered silk worms, horned worms, bsfl, and Dubias. they were on time and did well. I’m pretty sure they don’t offer crickets yet though.... all for nothing though Opie won’t touch them. I’ve learned my...

@Rst_Cham I’m expecting my replacement of the buffalos tomorrow also. And since all I can get Opie to eat is crickets I’m going to try to breed them as well. Have you been successful at it in the past?

Had him a week now

I’ve had him a week now. Some personality he has! He likes this front corner of his cage for some reason there isn’t anything there?

@jamest0o0 No bother at all.. but I’m sorry to say that I already dropped them at the pet store on my way to my appointment this evening. If anything like this should happen I’ll check with you first... Lol just order something really cheap from rainbow mealworms maybe they’ll send you some by...

I’m having bad luck with these orders too! The roaches were the first incident today. I also ordered some dry good from another supplier. An Arcadia 6%, 50’ roll of vine, a heating mat, a thermostat, and a R.O. Unit. Everything came but my R.O. Unit. That was my favorite part:(

I was thinking about doing this but I had appointments this evening, and then back to the work schedule for the week. I just wouldn’t have the time to get to the post office. I wish they would’ve came a couple hours earlier they would’ve been yours!
