Gyna centurio: these are the guys with the patchwork design, have an orangish/pink color the camera doesn’t pick up well. Gyna caffrorum: the chrome roaches with the whitish/silver powdery colors below. Probably the most common of gyna genus roaches, but very beautiful IMO. Not too difficult...

Just finished building my XL reptibreeze, going to start work on building the substrate tray+stand soon. The idea is to make this enclosure a work of art. I’ll be replacing some of the screen with plexiglass along with a bunch of other things. So something I’m considering ATM is what tree to...

I’ve been interested in keeping ducks for eggs lately. Originally I wanted chickens, but after some reading, ducks seem like a good choice. I’ve read a few guides on making a natural ‘self cleaning’ pond… pretty much a large scale bioactive pond lol. Doesn’t seem all that complicated, but was...

Does anyone know a lot about these(as in, more than what typical Google results will tell me)? UV is supposed to make water safe for drinking, even for people. I’m familiar with them being used in aquarium hobbies for a variety of reasons as well. Water passing through should kill any...

When I tore down all my bug bins, I left a bin full of cork and giant canyon isopods one my garage all winter. Our temps regularly get below freezing and sometimes below 0… opened the bin today to see isopods still crawling around!

The reptibreeze enclosures are pretty convenient for a lot of species, but I’m not crazy about their looks. Has anyone tried simply cutting out the screen and replacing it with some sort of clear film, or sheet of plexiglass/whatever for a better view? I was thinking that + painting it with a...

Hey all, I’ve been out of the hobby for a little. Rehomed my last Cham (my parsons) a little while back to a good keeper, who will give him the opportunity to breed. The space he required was too much for our house and I started getting burnt out by the constant long shower watering...

Has anyone delt with toe infections? My cham broke a couple toenails off that I missed while he was outside. Acted normal and I just overlooked it unfortunately(my mistake, should be checking more frequently). It scabbed over and doesn't have any pus, but there is a bit of swelling which has...

Getting rid of the last of my stuff... I have a lot of cork bark pieces, fitting as many as I can in a large flat rate USPS boxes. Shipping is 20, plus 20 for the cork. So $40 total per box shipped. May come with giant canyon isopods too(which are awesome bio cleaners, feeders, etc). I have...

I have a lot of empty bug bins of all different sizes. Screened, drilled, etc. Airtight and regular pop on lids for all types of critters. $5 each(much cheaper than stores)... will even do cheaper if you grab a lot of them off of me!

Here you go, some P hoffmannseggi adults next to an adult male dubia... they're thicker than the dubia, just slightly shorter than the dubias wings... picture doesn't do a justice

Everything is spoken for! Thank you all.

Find these guys in my yard/woods every summer. They're beautiful, very fast, huddle in groups, and fairly large(not huge, but probably as long as my finger).

Okay, to start, I didn't know where to put this because it isn't really directed at chameleons... I'm all for keeping WC in the cases of breeding to increase/make possible CB populations of animals. Crabs are the main animal that got me thinking... I've really wanted a land crab(patriot and/or...

Well, I'm sure they can lol, but I learned something these past 2 days. Twice i left a superworm out in the rain on accident... fully submerged in a cup of water for hours. Dumped it out not moving thinking it was dead... come back few hours later, it's moving again!

These are everywhere this time of year. Great potential as feeders. They like eating grape leaves which are very nutritious(and most insects don't like eating grape leaves for whatever reason). I caught some and kept them in a deli cup for a couple days before feeding off.

My parson's summer home... about 8 feet tall by 10 feet in length. I think just under 4 feet wide. I had to foam a few holes... he got his head stuck in one(very scary, but he's alright thank god. Never thought he'd try pushing his head through a little golf ball sized hole in the wire.). Had...

I have 10+ can of great stuff pond and stone I had sitting around for an old project I never did lol. Didn't realize they apparently have best by dates. Well I have to foam some things up and 2 cans now wouldn't dispense the foam, but I could hear the liquid shaking inside. When i screwed the...

I must have a thousand giant canyons, I have seen maybe 2-3 ever like this. One was spotted which I wish I would have put aside, but honestly I was thinking maybe it was a fresh molt or whatever and ignored it(I'm not an expert on isopods, just keep several species). Well I put this one aside...

Last colonies to part with... good deals for anyone wanting a quick feeder colony. Pictures at request. I will also help with any questions you have on keeping them, these are all easy though. If you pick up around western PA I'll knock prices down a little. •Dusky caves(blaberus fusca): easy...
