    Painted grasshoppers

    Probably not anytime soon, as I didn’t collect any, but how cool would that be?

    Experience with Selenops sp. “flatty” spiders?

    Good to know. Fortunately, I have been misting the walls of the opposite side of the enclosure 👍🏼

    Questions about care for injured Kukulcania hibernalis?

    These spiders can go a good while without food. It might be best to see if you can get her buolding a web for a week or two, and then try feeding her again. If she actually will eat some flightless fruit flies without a web, that’s good, but I have no experience feeding one outside of a web. She...

    Questions about care for injured Kukulcania hibernalis?

    I have had one for a couple of years. The good news is that these are hardy apiders. If she is still alive, it is definitely worth a shot to see if you can nurse her back to health. I would try offering her a crevice within an enclosure, surrounded by a flat area so she can make the type of web...

    Experience with Selenops sp. “flatty” spiders?

    It seems to perch a lot on the selenite crystal in its enclosure, which helps its pattern to stand out.

    Feeding Frequency and Quantity for Fiery Searcher

    I offered mine food a couple of times a week, more or less. It went after superworms with some enthusiasm, when it was hungry.

    Experience with Selenops sp. “flatty” spiders?

    I recently obtained a Selenops sp. ‘flatty’ or ‘wall spider’. I know the basics of care due to a couple of friends of mine who have kept them. It is eating, has molted once in my care, and seems to be doing well. I see it a lot, either perched on the walls/ceiling of the enclosure or on the...

    Surprise isopods from the garden

    with regards to the lungs, I was referring to the Porcelliio scaber…T. rathkii can sometimes be under the radar as they look so much like P. scaber, except for the lung pairs.

    Kind of isopods

    Agreed, Cubaris murina.

    Californiulus sp.

    So cool!

    Surprise isopods from the garden

    The stray one does look like Oniscus. I suggest checking for the pairs of white ‘lungs’ underneath the pleon…2 pairs, Porcellio scaber, 5 pairs, Trachelipus rathkii.

    Ventilation for dairy cow isopods

    Dairy Cows seem to be able to adapt to quite a wide wide variety in ventilation, as long as there is some air exchange, and the substrate doesn’t dry out. my favorite sort of ventilation for this species is to drill about six 1/16 inch holes high on the short sides of the enclosure, and maybe...

    "Party mix" Isopods?

    Though the term is NOT really standardized, it is most commonly used for various morphs of Porcellionides pruinosus. When that is the case, they are all the same species and capable of interbreeding. I have P. pruinosus’Party Mix’, which has powder blues. oranges, whiteouts, Oreo crumbles, and...
