not quite sure how to help you there as what youre describing does sound very strange, the only thing i can suggest is try to feed them more and give more variety in the food that you provide, ive noticed that my roaches tend to get sick of the same food over and over again and point blank...

About a month ago I finally purchased a H.Laoticus, I assume adult but not sure how to check. Either way, the issue is that he won't eat properly, as in he doesn't respond to prey at all. In the first week of me having him I witnessed a locust riding on top of him. The locusts/roaches will crawl...

I did just that, and they're definitely not flatbacks. It's been a couple of days and they've spread out around the terrarium, most are no longer visible so I assume that they've burrowed. I guess time will tell what they really are. Thank you for you reply

Hi everyone! Im really new to scorpions and I recently bought a Israeli gold scorpion (scorpio maurus). I can't seem to find any proper caresheets on it and the ones that I did find all say different things, so if someone could please either provide a link that's reliable or has kept them and...

I know that this is incredibly late, but just a few tips for the future. 1. Fruit flies are perfectly fine for mantids of any species or instar. However, stay away from crickets. I have not once fed a cricket to my mantis for many reasons. They easily carry parasites and diseases, they don't...

I was also wondering if it'd be a good idea to introduce them to the substrate immediately after purchase? I've heard that stress can kill them, and I assume that a half an hour bus ride home inside a tub lined with tissue that the store provides is fairly stressful, so maybe if I take a tub...

I was thinking about buying some off of ebay or something, just to see if there's any sort of difference or not. Thank you for the advice

All three that have died did have damage but it didn't seem too bad, to me atleast. Although the last millipedes antenna was folded to the side of its head. But the thing is, a couple of the ones that are still alive also have damage and they're fine. All of the ones I have aren't adults...

I've been keeping invertebrates for almost a year now, mainly mantids and beetles, but recently I got very interested in millipedes. I've wanted them for quite a while so on new years day (20 days ago), I went and bought some. I got a red/rusty and a bumblebee. All seemed well until my bumblebee...
