Here is Orion enjoying his new setup, other than the camera in his face he seems much happier with the rearrangement. (Sorry for the poor lighting, were approaching winter in Oregon and sunlight is very sparse, also keep in mind he is mid-shed).
Here is our most recent and final acquisition...
Interesting shed for Justice, our female ambilobe sired by Noki.
And here is a quick update on Decimus while partially fired up, being held by a relative. I will be a jerk eventually and grab a photo of him fully fired up around another male. Image is a little blurry as it is cold in...
150 gram range for around a year does not appear to be exceptionally small, in fact, that honestly seems to be average for an adult male. None of our current adult males within that age range exceed 170 grams, and they are all healthy, adequately, if not overly, fed and well hydrated. Boomer is...
If you would like to examine/include zoo-med or arcadia lights in your study we can supply you with zoomed 18" t8 bulbs, 22" and 34" t5 bulbs. If you are interested let me know since you are essentially our neighbor in regards to travelling distance.
Ha, I just meant their actual length was starting to get out of control, they were even more foul after cleaning out the dubia/crickets bins and re-potting the plants in the enclosures. Right now I have the eggs sealed inside of ziplock bags, containing a folded, moist paper towel that isn't...
Here are a few of the images of our silkmoth project that I am compiling for research and data purposes in order to better improve the methods used for cultivation. Apologies for the gross fingernails :(, literally cut them right after the photos were taken.
To be more specific, Ambanja is the locale of discussion here, and from a logical approach, in regards to genetic diversity, after evaluating the natural proliferation and propagation of several island locales, while acknowledging Ambanja is not an island, this pairing would appear to be...
Hornworms are typically aggressive to their counterparts and anything that agitates them, this occurs shortly after they emerge from the egg and only gets worse as they age. The aggression is amplified when there is a food source deficiency or over crowding. If you plan on actually feeding the...
Here are some progression images of our ambilobe male, sold to us as a 4 month old female, which we discovered was impossible upon her arrival, by someone here on the forums. He was sired by Franklin Jr. and is developing some exceptional color for his actual estimated age of around 4.5 months.
Thanks, we're exceptionally excited to see what his offspring look like, he has been paired with Super Blue, Caranthir, Sinatra, and Nihlus lines. As the first generation from a WC sire, we are not entirely certain what his offspring will turn out like, but we are anticipating at least some...
I am glad that everyone enjoyed the Logo :), it currently in a rough format and I am hoping to find the time to improve it dramatically, once completed we were thinking about designing a 3d rendering and printing it out just for kicks. Eventually our goal is to have a couple 3d artistic...
