Alright, alright...I'm still pretty damn adamant that I Do Not want to keep Blatta lateralis. They breed so much it seems downright overwhelming, and their potential pestiness really turn me off of the idea of starting a colony. However, as my tarantula collection grows (I have five right now...

Around this time last year I got my first isopods from Captive Isopoda. I started with 20+ mixed P. scaber "Lottery ticket", a nifty idea where you get a random assortment of non-visual isopods from experimental cultures. They may or may not come with recessives for other genes, and what you get...

I've been revisiting my roach notes and I'm on the quest for the most ideal feeder roach to get next. I've now had some more experience with my current species and I'm starting to figure out what I like best. As my collection grows, I'll need a faster breeding species soon enough. I keep little...

Listen, it was bound to happen someday! I already spent a good deal of time considering these, and I did already put a solid 2 years of research under my belt, and after a really cool visit to a local reptile show it looks like I have three tiny lads joining me!! Somewhat impromptu, but I am...

Honestly, even though I've been interested in inverts for a good few years, I never really imagined keeping so many inverts so soon. But of course life has a way of throwing curve balls for sure! I'd like to joke "do bugs, not drugs", but admittedly invert keeping is an addiction itself. My...

Kinda mentioned in a previous post, but I figure it's best to make a proper post. I've finally upgraded my bysotria rothi to a 20 qt gasket, with very deep substrate, leaf litter, and cork bark. I used their old and favorite cork flat, with a hollow for hiding in, and I'll be adding some more...

What it says, my gosh I'm dumb as hell. Just noticed theres actually a dedicated subforum for reptiles...I put my Eurydactylodes post in this subforum though. If a moderator could move it, I'd really appreciate it, just so it's where it belongs. c:> If not, that's ok! Here's my stupid post:

I've talked about my sons a lot, but I've never shown any pictures of them or their vivariums...so I might as well now. c: Recently I got some really nice pictures of one of the geckos, the Eurydactylodes agricolae, and some alright pictures of what will be his vivarium and the other...

It looks like I may have a trio of Sphaerodactylus notatus joining me in the coming month! The same friend who got me into loving invertebrates and convinced me to get Eurydactylodes and Bysotria rothi as my first reptiles and inverts, is looking to let go of her trio of S. notatus. She doesn't...

This is a really strange one. I don't know how it got there, but when I was collecting dwarf white isopods from my culture, I saw a little brown moving insect in the substrate. It freaked out and tried to hide when I got near it, but I scooped it out and lo and behold I am 95% sure it's a little...

Another question...I know to prevent escapes gasket tubs are toted as some of the absolute best enclosures, but the smallest size they come in is 20 qt. As I recently posted about I did just get red goblin roaches, and while I will be taking measures to prevent escapes I uh...do have to keep...

What it says on the tin. :) Just set up my 6 qt for my new Paratemnopteryx couloniana and I know the adults climb, so I got a tub of petroleum jelly from the store to help with that. I have it applied to the top 2" or so of the enclosure, and while it squeezed through the ittle vent holes ill...

I'm redoing and adding to my small collection soon and I want to see about getting some feedback on what's the best kind of plastic tub for roaches. Specifically smaller colonies, up to the size of maybe a 15 qt or so. Come the end of next week my collection will be 3 isopod cultures, 1...

I don't tend to post much on forums due to anxiety, but I had to introduce myself at the very least. c: So here is my little story. While I'm not new to researching invertebrates, I am relatively new to actively keeping them and started late last year with my small group of Byrsotria rothi...

I'm looking for some Paratemnopteryx couloniana to start a small colony for my Eurydactylodes. I don't need too many, anywhere between 25-50 of mixed sizes is preferred. Trichorhina tomentosa are also a boon.  don't need too many of these either, just enough to start a culture that could...
