I have my suspicions, but I need a couple more eyes on this, hopefully the pictures are enough. I know that the last segment shape is the main identifying feature from what I gathered on the web. I'm between laevis and dialatus. Also, if you could jot down your reasoning it would greatly help me...

Hey folks, I'm still having issues figuring out what things to feed these guys on as regular basis, particularly what types of leaves may be good. I've found one particular type of leaf they love, but it's a bit out of the way to collect. I know that there's dog food, fish flakes, and veggies...

I just assembled everything for my latest addition, pictures of them in situ to come. I have a potting mixture and cocofiber substrate with magnolia leaves and sphagnum moss on top. This container might work well for a small roach colony as well. The two halves form a solid barrier and if you...

Anyone have any experience with Pothos plants and isopods? I was planning on adding one into my new isopod enclosure. Thanks!

I was out wandering the internet and came across this fun looking toy that might prove a cool enclosure for smaller climbing species. I may research it a bit more tomarrow and see if I should get one for the classroom. Youtube: Store page...

I've got these mites in the oddest place, they're OUTSIDE the cage and hang out on the top far (1.5ft) away from the food. I've been trying to find time to trace their location, but it's not from anywhere inside the cage as far as I can tell. There is no logical food source near their area, I've...

Well, the White's Tree Frog I've had for some years croaked yesterday (har har). I've never really been happy with amphibians due to the moist environment, it makes cleaning a hassle. So I'm wondering if anyone can reccomend a non-climbing species of lizard that could subside on a diet of hisser...

I finally got a chance to poke around in the local canyon here in San Diego. Been wanting to go for some time but of course we all work to live. Anyhow, the reason I had to go out to the canyon to find these is all the spraying they do around here, didn't want to introduce any pesticides into my...

There's a couple of spiders that have taken up residence in my enclosure. They moved into a piece of corkbark I had moved into there about 2 months ago. I had figured everything was alright and that they were not of the size to take on the baby hissers. Last night as I was knocking down the...

Ok, I'm totally zoning out on these all night long. They're absolutely awesome, I'll have to take them to class sometime after they get acclimated to their new environment. Here's some pictures, I'm going to run back to watching them! (Sorry about the quality on some, I was taking some through...

I probably should have put more into my "Introduce Yourself" post, but here it is. I do a good amount of amateur 3D work in Second Life and I figured it might be time to do a decent hisser. This is just the little bit I've done today, I may end up doing more tonight. The model, when done, will...

I was rummaging around looking for information on Aeluropoda insignis (they're so awesome!) and this site popped up. After running it through the translator I found that they keep many roach species and have tons of pictures. It's a great site to browse through and has some valuable information...

Ok, here it is! Roaches will soon invade the Mayan ruins, hopefully some tiger hissers once I figure out what I'm going to do for heat during the cold days. I've got cocofiber substrate, a large corkbark hide, and some fake plants. The bowls should be easy to clean out because of the two doors...

Hello everyone. I've been lurking around here for some time now gathering up all of the wonderful experiences and other information you all have garnered here. I've got an insatiable need for some hissers now and I've ordered a cage ect which will hopefully be in on Friday. But now I have a...

Hello everyone, I've been lurking around soaking up all of the excellent knowledge you've all contributed to this forum. I came across this article and decided to contribute it here. It's already apparent that the mites are beneficial, here's a good source in case anyone would have need of it...
