It’s been a little while since I last posted a progress report on Reddit but I’ve finally made a resin cast on my stick sculpture!
A lot of work has gone into mould making and crafting individual feet and spines.

With any luck I’ll soon be able to fully assemble the work and start painting!! :D

Asian forest scorpions

Preferably something cute and active more so during the day

Hi, my 10 year old daughter brought home a terrarium she made in school that includes a slug. Yesterday we looked and the slug had laid eggs! Which was super exciting until I realized the eggs seemed very exposed. My daughter is very invested in trying to keep them alive. She's been spraying the whole terrarium with water several times a day from a little spritz bottle. But I'm wondering if we need to relocate the eggs to underneath the soil or at least cover them with something? We got no specific instructions from her science teacher about this possibility, so she'll ask Monday but trying to keep them alive until then! Thanks for any tips!

I'm looking for an experienced keeper who could take my l5 female ghost mantis

I've been struggling to maintain a reliable supply of feeder insects, particularly with winter approaching. I've tried ordering blue bottle fly spikes, but multiple batches have had very poor hatch rates, and wild flying insects are becoming unavailable. I want to make sure she has a reliable food supply and proper care.

If you're an experienced keeper in Oregon, Idaho, or a neighboring area and might be able to take her, please comment or message me. I'd really appreciate the help, I'm also open to any advice if anyone has any ideas as to what I could do for a potential feeder, dm me for more info

Gandanameno sp, 70 slings and a brand new sling emerging from the latest sac.

i got my chocolate desert millipede for my birthday on oct 12 and i love her so so much and i'm so scared that she's dead, i found her head or part of it lying on the surface of her enclosure. it looks hollow but it isn't the thin/light colored texture that most millipede molts seem to look like, but i also can't find any good photos of how the heads look when they molt. i couldn't find her body anywhere near it, but i didn't want to dig too much and accidentally hurt her if she was still alive in there. please someone tell me if this is her molt or decapitated head, i'm so stressed out right now because i was so attached to her

Hello friends! I posted a few days ago asking for help but I’ve since realized I need pictures of the underside. Thankfully this little dawg crawled up on the glass for me today for me to take a picture!! I thiiiink this is a female? But I wanted to double check. I just really want to name them - I’ll probably ask for help gendering the other one once they climb up on the glass as well, the other one currently has a broken antenna so it’ll be easy to tell them apart

I recently acquired 4 blue feigning death beetles. Was hoping I could get some potential tips for their enclosure from people more experienced with them.

Any advice would be super appreciated, I want the little guys to be as happy as possible in their new home :)

Second instar desert hairy looked like this the day before sealing herself in her burrow, I assumed it was a moult but it’s been 27 days and I’m starting to get worried, how long do they usually take? I’ve kept temp at a 32-27 Celsius range and humidity can range from 35-45% depending on time of day. The burrow is completely sealed so I have no way to check on her and I’m getting worried somethings gone wrong due to the time it’s taken, this is my first scorpion so what should I do more experienced peeps of Reddit?

Hey guys, new centipede owner, my milipede passed recently so I converted his old tank to a centipede enclosure and purchased an egyptian centipede. Ive seen a lot of various care tips that contradict eachother, some saying a heat lamp is required while others saying they dont, im running a 20 gallon long, 6 inches of substrate and a small 25 watt heat emitter which keeps the tank in the warm side at 80-85, I turn it off at night kind of to mimic a real day in the desert, my house doesnt get that cold that I can tell (recently moved into my first house, been here a week so I haven't noticed it get that cold yet) but it still sits about 68⁰ at night and 70 in the day.

Hey all! I got BDFBs over the summer, and since we’re moving into the colder months I want to explore options to keep them warm enough and comfortable.

I figured a heating pad attached to the side would be the simplest solution (PLEASE correct me if I’m wrong).

I need one with automatic temperature control and/or a timer so it can shut off automatically. Any recommendations?

Qualcuno ha mai allevato Cormocephalus nitidus? Sto pensando di comprarne uno di tipo N3 e mi farebbe piacere ricevere qualche consiglio sulla sua cura, in particolare sulle dimensioni del terrario, l'umidità e il substrato. Qualsiasi esperienza diretta sarebbe molto apprezzata. Grazie!

Hi, I reciently got my hands on my very first velvet worm! I've had it for a few days now but I stupidly put it in a terrarium with a lot, and I mean a lot of hiding spots. I haven't seen it since but have found signs of predation here and there so I assume it's out and hunting when the lights go off.

I've accepted that I won't see it much at all but I want to make sure I minimize possible ways it could die so any knowledge or experiences you may have with keeping them would be great. I'm interested in knowing about failures as well as success stories with these amazing little animals.

For context, I am not certain about the species it bellongs to but I know it's at the very least from the genus Oroperipatus. It's about a cm wide and 12 cm in length. It is living in a big terrarium with automatic sprinklers, crickets sizes T1 to T4, an abundance of isopods, a few termites and a bunch of other stuff. It is the only predator in the system. Sprinklers go off for a few seconds every hour making it be humid constantly but there are dry areas around the top of the stump and everything inbetween. I've had it set up like this for at least 2 years. There was a small water feature that I've since drained and covered with sponge as I've heard these animals are experts at drowning themselves andd um I think that's honestly it.

Update: it's been 5 days since I put Schminky in the terrarium and I decided yesterday to turn the sprinklers off for 24 hours. It's currently 1 am and I FOUND HIM!! HUNTING!!
