update: POSTED TOO SOON I FOUND HIM HE WAS JUST REALLY WELL CAMOUFLAGED
ok so i just got an emperor juvie last night-- i had a 10 gallon glass tank set up with a lid weighted down. But now I can't find it--
do y'all think it could've escaped? if it did it's probably gone, i was keeping it in...
I'm considering this more of a Log than anything. A. Metallica, 3in, Female.
Welp, had another death in the collection-- this one I saw coming.
My girl hadn't been eating well for months despite being offered food, no premolt, tiny abdomen. She'd only take crickets, and even then sparingly. At...
I don't find it erronous at all-- in my experience slings do fine without water dishes so long as they are given moist substrate and other sources of water (which, for that matter, slings often get a lot of their moisture from food), but the topic seems to be high debate in the community...
the icu is a repurposed mealworm cup and is smaller than the enclosure she is currently in, which will fit a water bottle cap fine,
her last molt was exactly a week ago today.
i rlly hope that isn't the case. she is very stiff though and is still not moving, though of course i'd give her a...
enclosure is a jamie's sling enclosure-- no water dish bc she's too small for it, but i mist the sides and keep the substrate moist so she can sip the droplets. i've had her for several months now, i got her in april and she's molted 2-3 times in my care. like i said, only husbandry change is i...
So my g. pulchripes sling is in a bad way-- I fed her last night (beheaded mealworm, as per usual. It's her first meal since her last molt a week and a half ago and she did, in fact, eat it), went to bed. I woke up to find her at the enterence of her burrow, in a death curl, but not dead yet...
rosies can be docile, or extremely defensive, and sometimes become defensive post molt even if they were originally docile. despite being one of the most popular 'starter' t's, i don't recommend them to people for this reason (and their tendency to fast). you may have gotten unlucky and gotten a...
t's dont really show hunger much imo, just feed them regularly. if theyre hungry, theyll take it. if not, remove it.
you too??? my chalcodes is a total glutton, it's almost cute. she tends to play garbage disposal for whatever cricks my metallica doesnt eat, since crickets die so quickly
My darned camera wouldnt focus well enough for a nonblurry ventral let alone a shot of the molt, but molt confirmed my b. vagans is a female-- i'm so excited. she's grown so fast since i got her as a death-curl pity-buy from a lps, 1/2 inch to 2 inches dls in two molts.
(ps: if you're...
update: i got her to come out, though she did curl up, shy girl.
like i said, its probably just premolt, but i got concerned because her booty's doubled in size since i got her despite her not eating anything and the recent reports of w/c roseas coming up pregnant, so second opinions are...
ah! i live in texas, usa, so a lot of the w/c species here are Who Knows-- i heard recently a shipment of roseas/portreris turned up preggers so im a bit worried about my little girl-- though it's a bit doubtful. her abdomen is very large and getting larger despite the fact she's been fasting--...
My house stays around that temperature (nothing I can do about it-- someone I live with has reign of the thermostat and would keep it colder if it wouldn't literally kill the rest of us) and all of my t's are happy and active, but if you have the option to do so, I'd def warm up. If nothing...
i think theyre cute! very wonderful, but be prepared to rehome often because they grow quickly and you may end up needing a HUGE enclosure. most people only report them getting to be 8 inches, but they're perfectly capable of growing to 11-- therefore, while you shouldn't count on a foot long...
