Hello all, I see a ton of naturalistic enclosures on here, however, I am wondering if anyone has done some decorative kinds? I own a lot of inverts and I feel their enclosures are plain in comparison to my snake's enclosure. I only got one response on a facebook group that had some amazing...

This is such a good post, there really isn't much info on their care at all and starting out I had to scramble for info and am still learning. I had to learn about the digging one the hard way last year when I used to try and check on them. I accidentally uncovered and nudged one of my desert...

It can be, but I think the real issue with the permits is not the price, but the fact only universities/researchers/zoos/scientist/ect can apply for a permit. Then they must see if the insect is potentially invasive, if it isn't, I do not know if they need to proceed with the next step. But...

Foreign millipedes aren't completely banned here. In fact, the entire class of Millipede is legal in all states, even California. However, the import of any animal is illegal. Unless you have a permit, with said permit you must pay a fee per shipment. I dislike the laws but they are put in...

I actually use heat mats meant for germinating seeds because they are way cheaper in the bigger sizes, I can get a 20 inch one for around $10. I use a thermostat that has a built in probe, but on the safe side I rotate the probe around and check each mat's temperatures. For me, I use them...

There actually is a version, possibly related to this species, that looks like these that are kinda metallic looking. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10209764708545642&set=pcb.770220173166269&type=3&theater&ifg=1...

I am excited for that to happen. I am actually hoping for it to happen with a couple of species.

Oh, are they? I had no idea. Good to know. Honestly I am cool with paying for things that are pretty/cute. Heck, that person quoted me at $20 per iso. Only thing that chased me off was the prospect of smuggling.

I love them, I hope they will make it to the US soon. Someone was selling them on fb but I noped out bc they were suggesting smuggling. As tempting as it is I would rather not risk a fine. But seeing as they prefer dryer enclosures, they may make wonderful cleaners. EDIT: I want a species id...

My mistake, I know of gaming taxidermy, but I did not know it included so many other techniques though. I do love the cryptid taxidermy like the fiji mermaid, but the best/tragic image results fall under 'bad taxidermy'.

Why is her eyeliner wing angled so upwards? Anyways I think it is kinda cool. But I doubt it is done using deadstock. I had a great uncle who used his deadstock to make jewelry. It is bizarre to call something taxidermy if you are the one purposely killing it. Tbh I have no problem with any...

Man it is a shame that millipedes get mistaken for centipedes so much. At least in this case it hopefully wasn't killed. Whenever I talk about mills at school I describe them as 'long ass rolly pollies' and centipedes as 'snakes with lots of legs'.

I actually hope other sections will have these threads, cause I made the one in the hopes of discovering new species of centipede I did not know of. Anyways, I am pretty simple and I want to own a peacock spider. I know they are super tiny but I would but a macro lens just to watch it dance.

Personally, I find all spider's faces along with how they wiggle their little mandibles really cute. I have no idea why, but it just gets me squealing with joy? When I found out they had tiny paws they got even cuter. It is so great.

Last time I went to socal I think I did see the bluish ones, but I was still more skittish about them. I would love to find out is the aztecorums are their own species, as well as own one myself. But they definitely are impressive. This makes me wonder how many myriapods are actually a color...

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful monster <3! It is lovely. It must be neat to see it feed.

I hear Scolopendra Polymorpha come in many color morphs :0 I see a few on bugsincyberspace, they are unfortunately sold out, that I am really hoping either them or someone on this site will have available because I find blue centipedes neat. Of course, since they are Native to California I may...

Oh gosh sorry to derail the topic op;; But running back and adding to my original point, as hobbyist we need to make sure it is welcoming to new people as well as accessible in regards to the availability of healthy animals. And as consumers, we should not tolerate bad business practices. You...

Sounds like you want to keep the hobby small. Which is a shame, because it would be great to have easily accessible supplies and more invert species. Again, not saying the buyers are completely innocent. But it is negligent to shrug off the bad sellers. It is also equally as negligent to mark...

Yeah like that is really jarring. Can you imagine going into home depot and they sell you a chainsaw and are like 'yeah it can go through hardwood its a chainsaw' then said chainsaw fails? They are not allowed to even do that and additionally expect their customers to know about machinery. Idk...
