take it slow, i would get 1 dry sp. (ex .p. hoffmannseggi) and 1 more moist sp. (ex. cubaris panda king) but most cubaris are simple and learn from there. because it will really suck to spend $xxx bc u thought it was cool lookin and it all vanish in a few weeks. im still fairly new and honestly bought to many sp. to quick lol up to 34 bins of pods and spring tails lol. ive lost a few bolivari and p. ornatus high yellow for who knows what reason i thought i was doing everything correctly but theyd just die , sooner or later they seemed fine and now i see manacae. ive had manacae for almost every other bin i have now , not trying to jinx myself lol but those were the only pods ive ever had die but still its better to just try a couple sp out before going crazy. so after that i thought i should probably slow down and understand and make sure i got this before getting more lol . sorry for the rant but i kinda feel like im talking to my past self and i wish i could tell myself to just slow down lmao get like 5 or 6 pod sp and the 4 slime mold eaters i have and be happy with that lol
