    Whats the species of this mantis

    All I 'claimed' is it looked similar and asked you to contribute rather than being a jerk but it appears that is above your capabilities or maybe it just makes you feel superior.. You'll have to educate me as to how to use the search function as well as what sp this mantis is by the looks of...

    Whats the species of this mantis

    So like I said if you know so much where is your suggestion? Simply disagreeing doesn't help the OP or promote much intelligent conversation. You wouldn't join in a debate in real life and announce 'I disagree sir!' Then leave the room, at least you've now backed it up with your reasoning...

    Getting my T used to me

    Get someone to stroke you everyday with something when that's CLEARLY the last thing you could possibly want, do that until you are so broken you no longer react and come back and tell us how you feel..how about you just leave it alone? I've never had to touch/poke/handle a T to change a water...

    My T's keep pooping on their water dishes.

    My dishes aren't in corners and the bolus always goes in there, my spiders are arboreal so poop is shot onto sides of the enclosure mostly. To me it seems this must be good housekeeping, they propel their poop as far and wide as they can and put their bolus where they are likely to be washed...

    Bioactive vivarium for tarantulas

    With those LED's you want blue light to make the plants stockier but a strong white light should give good results for most plants, up your lumens or look for LED's for horticultural use or marine aquariums with a mix of colours, red light will help with flowering btw

    why keep herbivores

    A interesting question I've asked myself before because I didn't intend to end up with Pedes and tubs of Isos I think we are collectors by nature in this hobby, there's so many variations in colour pattern and behaviour. I totally agree that you can't beat watching a colony grow and sustain...

    Ever tried to remove one of these??

    These are staying but I have another on a display tank I want to remove, if my hermit crabs have no luck I don't hold up much hope, they are destruction machines! Any tips for getting them off without damaging my glass? Is it going to leave a ugly mark?

    A few Qs about mourning geckos

    I noticed from the search a few members here keep mourning geckos! I was just wondering how loud they are? I read they make a kind of click/chirp, they would be going on my bedside table so how annoying is this likely to be if at all? Also how good ARE they at escaping? What kind of mods would I...
