Yes, it's so easy to forget all the little Diptera. I have been really bad about that. The building idea is a great one. And I am doing a project in a greenhouse right now! Great idea.
Yes! I actually went out today and got a ton of wasps, various orthoptera and hemiptera. I'll post a picture of some of the cooler stuff later. :) Thanks for the advice!
I've collected a few hundred samples representing roughly a hundred species on my own, but you're right, it is a bad time to be looking. I was hoping people from warmer areas would have better luck, or that people who breed insects professionally would be willing to part with the carcasses for...
Hello! I am currently a student at the University of Missouri studying entomology. I need different species of insects for my collection, and I know some of you keep some amazing species! If anyone has any animals that have died recently and are fairly well preserved, I would like to buy them...
You're not going to be able to breed tiger sals. It takes years and extremely commited projects, and even then captive breeding is incredibly uncommon.
All the bloods I've ever worked with have been less than handle-able.
Leachies are fun but incredibly expensive.
I would go with a...
Thank you everyone for your support. The "friend" has agreed to pay for the value of all animals lost, as well as return the money I paid them to house sit, and all I had to do was show up at his house with an officer in tow. Sometimes it pays to work in law enforcement.
All of the surviving...
I do because I'm transferring into the school. I had to be there for orientation, to meet my advisors, get my ID printed, etc.
Thanks for the support, everyone. This person has animals, so I figured they'd understand that they don't respond well to neglect.
My T's were most definitely not on their way to death before I left. I keep my T's and reptiles in separate rooms. I don't have central air in my house, so my T room can reach over 100 degrees in my house the day time. I have fans set up to cool them off during the day, but they need to be...
I left last week to register for classes for the fall semester and I paid some friends to take care of my critters while I was gone. I wrote out detailed instruction sheets for every single animal and left money and equipment. I came home tonight and half of my collection is dead. Not just...
I bought a breeding trio of California King Snakes for $80 today. Looks like a banded, an aberrant and a costal. They do need names, so I'm taking suggestions. The banded is the male.
It doesn't make sense TO YOU. If that's what makes them happy, that's what makes them happy. I don't understand why people play golf. Doesn't mean they're stupid, it means I just don't play golf.
Exactly. If it's not your hobby today, it will be tomorrow. For the record, I just want to say that I used the gun example as an example. My mother was invited to the Olympics in the '80's for rifle marksmanship and I shoot a longbow competitively, so I'm very gun friendly. We're both...
I was coming home from a party late one night and I had my pit bull with me, as I almost always do. As I was walking from my car to my front door, I noticed four men breaking into my neighbor's house. They saw me and came running towards me, screaming. Gimli, who is a 40 pound snuggle muffin...
