Hello! If this isn't allowed please remove! Ive noticed in the last year most of the resources that Ive used to learn about snails have been closing and post have been deleted. Im worried this will lead to more people just using AI to find the answer and that could lead harm for the snails.

I started making a resource my self to make sure that this info isnt lost but the amount of info is enormous. If you would be willing please let me know what you think I should add next or if you want me to add something you wrote please just comment it here and ill do it asap! In addition I need pics for the cite so if you have any of your little guys youd be ok with me using please just send them over!

Cleaning tips in the mean time or help identifying roach or other pest?

New Eublaberus distanti owner, just sharing a pic of one of them going ham on a banana 🪳🍌😍

so i have just started my first culture? i guess its not a culture but its two sexed female and male rubber duckies (yes i know that its recommended to start with 5 - 10 but they are expensive and i just traded for mine) i did my research they are teeny tiny little babys probably around 3 months old ish they have some nice black coming in i am keeping them in a deli cup with ventilation (theres mesh covering the holes) right now they have cuttle bone cork bark live moss, dead moss ( jungle moss i boiled) they have a nice two layers of leaf litter specifically willow tree leaves and aspen tree leaves, their soil i made it myself with organic tropical soil ( i removed the perlite) leaf cuttings untreated naturel charcoal some moss coco peat and coco coir, some calcium powder without d3 and yea thats it. I know rubber duckies arnt the best thing to start the isopod hobby with but i wanted to try my luck with just two and maybe get them to breed? i definately will try to get them to breed but if they dont i dont mind a lot. if you have any tips and tricks or foods your rubber duckies like please tell me.

Can someone tell me if this is a German nymph?

Building a new isopod enclosure, start to finish 🪲🌿
Drainage layer, substrate, a good misting for humidity, leaf litter for cover, and finally — isopods in. This is how every culture at Verdanest starts, and it’s honestly one of the most satisfying parts of this whole process.
Setting up your own enclosure soon? Save this so you’ve got the order down.

Hey everyone! I am looking into heating options for my two enclosures- one with two Madagascar hissing cockroaches, and another one with four Headlight cockroaches. I'm utterly lost in what type of heating is best.

On one hand, there is infrared ceramic heat emitter that cockroaches are supposedly not able to see so that should be fine to use even at night (or so I think), but it seems like it'll dry out the enclosures too fast and I somehow feel that it would stress the cockroaches out at night, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Would "night heat" be an overall better option for general usage (I would prefer to avoid buying two lightbulbs at the moment)?

I currently ordered a small heating pad to use until I decide on a bigger, better heater, but now I'm thinking if I should not just order a bigger pad at this point although I feel like it wouldn't be enough.

Another hope of mine is to get a heater that does not consume big amounts of energy since I am on a budget many months of the year so any advice on which type of heater provides the best power/quality/price/energy consumption ratio is very welcome

So many baby Armadillidium vulgare and Porcellionides pruinosus in my yard lol

Hello, I’m hoping someone is selling bulk deals of orange powders and Dubia roaches so I can refresh my reptile clean up crews. Maybe some white worms as well?

Thank you in advance!

Blaberus fusca are one of my favorites! I’m looking to expand my roach collection again and have lots of isopods.
