How long do vampire crabs stay in the water after a molt?

How long do vampire crabs stay in the water after a molt?

I noticed my vampire crab hanging out in the water constantly for some reason, I didn’t think much of it, but I am a first time owner. After about three days of hanging out in the water, I looked in the water and saw what I thought was my crab, but dead.
Only to watch as he ran PAST himself!? I got so confused and then realized OHHHH he molted! It’s my first time having a crab molt and he’s the youngest out of my three. It’s been about three or four days now since he molted but he’s still in the water scurrying around.
How long until he leaves the water? Online it says he should’ve left long ago to find somewhere on land to harden his exoskeleton.
Is he capable of hardening while submerged?

Any advice and or experience would be greatly appreciated!

My luck is HORRIBLE!

My main motivation for any outfit is animal theme. As soon as I saw these paws and heads I wanted them so bad I’m about 148 pulls in. I don’t even want to know how much money that is. I’ve already bought the alternative gloves, but I realized I can only afford one head.
Meanwhile, from the main gotcha all I wanted to pull was the white gloves, the head, and the hair. I really did not care about anything else except the eyelashes but those are easy to get.
I just can’t believe how abysmal my luck is and how expensive the exchange store is I would think after almost 150 pulls I would have enough to get the other two heads.
And now there’s the new gotcha with the wings, ears, and tails… siggggghhhhh
Just a slight rant

Need help I don’t know when my pinwheel is done!

I think it’s really weird that this Reddit doesn’t allow videos and photos.
But here goes, about 25 minutes ago I put a premade lobster pinwheel in the oven at 400.
Online it says 15 to 20 minutes at 400 to 375.
I have no clue how to tell if it’s done or not online it talks about flakiness, but it still just looks like a piece of salmon?
I’ve never cooked anything like this before so I could use some advice

Advice on how to stop a rooster from being mean?

I took a minute long video explaining the situation, but 40 second got cut out. Essentially I’m covered in scars thanks to him. He only attacks in bratty ways and he knows he shouldn’t because after an attack he’ll usually run away but lately his attacks aren’t just a quick bite, but a grab and pull trying to tear my flesh from me. It often happens when I casually lean down to give him a pat or if I try to walk away from him. He follows me around endlessly and he does like gentle touch and pets, but he’s being a mean brat.
When he bit me a second ago, I didn’t get to show it in the video, but it’s a big swollen blood blister on my arm. I pinned him to the ground. I can carry him around without worrying about him biting me or my face but he’s a heavy bird and it causes him to pant when I carry him so I don’t do it for very long cause I don’t want to make him uncomfortable in a painful way.
Any advice on how to deal with the situation and get him to be a little less mean?
Also turning him into stew is not an option. I’ve spent thousands on this bird in vet visits alone and specialty care. All of my birds are special needs rescues and I would never eat them. I don’t even like poultry meat never have so I would appreciate it if people didn’t tell me to eat him.

Gender id for golden ground beetle?

It’s a little hard to take photos. I hope these are the right angles. I was wondering what gender this beetle may be I have a second one that I’m gonna make another gender post about as soon as I can get some good pics of it. I have an emerald one and a copper one. The copper one is the one in these photos. I’ve lived in this state all my life and never seen these guys before, but I caught two in one week with them running into my garage.
The one in this photo had what looked like an egg casing extended from their abdomen a few days ago, but when I went to open their enclosure and see further, they pulled it back in. I don’t know if they air out egg casings like how roaches do or not so I’d like a more definitive answer on this one’s gender.
I live in Northern Maine not that I think that matters for this question,

So I in the beginning of winter, end of fall there was a bunch of plants on discount for $.50 each, and I picked up a queen and prince papyrus. From my research, they like to have their pots sit in a contain of water. Well, now either the queen or the prince is dead, and I have one green sprout left from the survivor. There’s tons of white mold growing on the top soil and I even let the water basin dry out for a couple of weeks, but that seems to have killed the plant faster. I don’t know what to do. Less water? More water? Scrape off the mold? How do I save this plant? It’s still 25° here at night and I can’t put any of these stupid plants outside until it’s at least 50 consistently at night. I am quite literally counting my days. It has been heck over the winter or more so recently, I think the plants can somehow tell that it’s almost time to go outside, but a lot of them are jumping off the proverbial bridge before I can put them outside and there’s nothing I can do to stop them. It’s just death left and right. I kept them alive all winter and now they all wanna randomly die on me?!!!? Sorry, just super stressed.
Any help would be very appreciated!
The plant has two giant grow lights above it and gets at least 10 hrs of light a day. They always have water because that’s what I read about for the species and I live in northern Maine. Don’t know if they can live here or not.

I paid $10 for this thing but the nursery couldn’t tell me what it was. I’m sure the two large round leaves are its cotyledons so it is still very young.
Any ideas?
I live in Maine but my plant nursery sells plants from all over the world, and I found this in the cactus/succulent section in the heated greenhouse.

How can I help my friend unlock the build challenge? I want to add them to my group as we have one spot left but I don’t know what they need to do to unlock it. Their lvl is 23 is that not high enough?

This is my first ever black jersey giant. They have a severe attitude, but are very sweet. Is tail growth this fast typically normal?

u/Camry08 — 21 days ago

I had so much fun today! Instead of grinding like I typically do I decided to just play around as a frog. I hopped around everywhere (how could I not with those boots), sat in water, and took nice pictures.

My outfits are always themed after an animal but after like 10 cat and wolf outfits I’m happy I came up with this one! (I hope in the future they add some bunny ears, floppy puppy ears, and tails)

Three of the silkies at my local store have these very pale stripes down their backs. Will they still be completely white or will it be a bit of something else?
