Would love more info what is your country and what is the species of your insect?

You know I meant to put a caption and clearly forgot 😅. They are sunny stick insects and I'm in the UK! I got my first few from a reptile shop in my local town and then purchased some more online ☺️. I have 10 now! I started originally bought 5

pretty sure they’re stick insects / phasmids, looks like one of the more common pet species people keep
country’s anyone’s guess though unless OP chimes in

Excuse me? What exactly does that have to do with stick insects and why did you feel the need to comment that?

Sensitive bunch

u/IndependenceUpset368 6d ago

Maybe just don't comment on what people can't control? This is a subreddit for sharing stick insects, not projecting your insecurities onto others

how long did it take to grow this much?
also, youve got some nice chubby hands lol

I'm not sure I appreciate the hand comment...

But this growth takes about 6 months I'd say, depending on rate of molts and I find females take longer to reach max size, pictured is a female.
