Its a 1 1/2 hour drive to get silkworms and of course they are short lived.
The dubias are pretty small. They arent exactly allowed here. But I will try anything right now.
I got lucky. And found a Cham breeder that also breeds bsfl.
So I picked up 300 of the little suckers this morning...
Its been 3 weeks since the first of her receptive/gravid colours showed up.
Its been 3 weeks of pacing. Picky eating. Beating herself and her plants up.
She has finally slowed down some. She stays dark green most of the time now.
Won't eat anything but silk worms and Bsfl.
(The crickets just...
I had a Fuchsia.
It had beautiful flowers.
Mine ate the flowers. Went back for the buds. Then finished off the rest of the plant..
It was murder.. plain and simple. Lol.
I think temp is less important than good ventilation and hydration.
My house sits at 72°f right now.
Not only are my crickets thriving. But i have eggs hatching with no added heat at room temp.
The adult crickets are kept in a tote with no lid.
Fresh food and water daily. Egg cartons for...
I'm still waiting on the extra vines that I ordered. If Im lucky it will be here Tuesday.
I might be able to get a new large sized money tree from a local shop. But they arent open until Monday. (Fingers crossed)
I did find a small Dracena at the store when I went for groceries. So I added...
I never thought of ordering plants online.
Its so cold.
The last tropical plant I brought home from walmart before Xmas.
$30 varigated umbrella plant.
Died after 2 days due to shock.
It was covered. Went from the store to the car and home..
It wilted the next day then all the leaves fell...
I had fake plants. For 24 hrs.
They hit the garbage can after ms. Sassy pants tried to eat them.
I forgot I have a hoya.
I stuck it in a small pot and made a hanger from jute twine.
I moved her spider plant to just under her basking spot. There a new stick in the back.
This will have to do...
The plants in the window are all too big.
I've had them for close to 20 years.
There is a mass cane, yucca palm, jade plant. Her enclosre measurements (inside) 42" tall. × 30" wide. 18.5 deep
They are in very large pots. The hibiscus is 5' tall same as the cane the yucca is close to 4' with...
I removed her almost crushed Coleus out and added the baby pothos that Ive been waiting on to grow. Its in a smaller pot and gives enough space that she can walk around the pots if she wants.
Im going through my house plants now to see if I have anything small enough for her enclosure.
Do...
This is her first time. she started showing her colours on Dec 27.
By new years she was acting like a lunatic and off her food.
She will be 6 months old on Jan 24th
Her bin is in the back right hand corner. Its 15.5" by 12.5".
I dont think she is close to laying yet. But Im worried a complete overhaul of her enclosure will stress her.
I THINK I FIGURED OUT THE BRUISES!!!
looks like I will be doing some problem solving this morning. 🥴
That space is very small. She was trying to mash herself into the space. I will be blocking that off completely as soon as I figure out how.
I feel like i have some direction now at least.
