Got my very first catch me + the whole collection!
The only place in my entire area that has had these is Micheal’s. I’ve gone 3 times now on different days to check and grab them each go and some how ended up with the whole box basically.

I was aiming for the regular hairless cat as I LOVE hairless cats. I have the giant one (biggie g) the regular one (grape) and now the key chain! (Grape jr) but what should I name the catch me?! It has to have grape in it!

Found this bug in a sprite case we got shipped to our store! All my co workers were freaked out by it but I was so exited!

1. Is it legal?

2. What is it

3. How do I pin it, otherwise could I be directed to a source that will help?

I also have no issue making this a wet specimen either.

I am from Kansas and I don’t believe this bug is native here.

Happy to post a picture of the top of it too when I get the chance

I LOVE hairless cats. My best friend brought me the big one from Costco the day of my car accident, finally got my hands on the regular one today! Meet grape Jr. and yes, big boys name is grape :)

This is Miss Ember, aka the terrorist.

She earned this nickname because the day she walked into the house (yes that’s how we adopted her) she has caused chaos and destruction.

She loves being complimented but she’s awkward, she will squirm around and meow at you if you tell her she’s beautiful or pretty or gorgeous.

She doesn’t like being looked at wrong, pet without her permission, or bothered in her sleep.

If you break any of these rules she will seek out my cat snowball (photos upon request) and throw him around for a bit.

How ever she will occasionally ask for uppies as seen in photo 6 and will very happily bundle her self up into my arm and accept love for about 2 minutes before she’s done.

She is my 9lbs of fur, fury and laughs. She keeps everyone on their toes (especially when she tries tripping you on the stairs)

And she has a habit of running up the stairs so fast she crumples her self before continuing.

This is George. I’ve had George about a year and a half now and from what I was told he has poor genetics to begin with, and he is showing signs of old age.

He is in a 10 gallon planted, filtered and heated tank. He gets new plants every pay check because if he doesn’t he will literally get pouty.

He spends a lot of time sleeping on his clear tunnel but eats every time I feed him including live food, and interacts with me when I see him.

I just want to know if his behavior looks happy or not to be honest.

This is jelly bean!

She is in a 20 gallon long tank
Temp is 78f
It’s sponge filtered
And always getting new plants.
Just wanted to show off! Had this tank going for around 6+ months!

If anyone is wondering about her odd shape, she got stuck in a piece of shrimp wood. She has been long healed and I’m happy to say she is a happy food aggressive princess 👑

Hey! I found this while thrifting, it looks like either a rock or maybe petrified wood? My sister says it looks like a horseshoe, but it doesn’t look like old metal.

Any ideas?
And please let me know if better pictures are needed. It’s in a nailed shut shadow box

Just to start off, unfortunately my big eared radix leviathan passed away.

I’ve had her for about 4 months. I was so exited to find her at Petco but didn’t know anything about her. I was 2 weeks away from my surgery and decided to do research.

2 weeks into my surgery I went back to get her after confirming she can live In my tank.

However they live longer in cold water, and I have a warm water tank. I knew our time together wouldn’t be long but I cherished her dearly.

I got her no bigger than an inch which was still large compared to my others, she passed away at nearly 2 inches!

Leviathan was a snail I’ll never forget. I’ve never had the experience of friendly pond snails let alone WANTING to be held. The first day I brought her home she didn’t hide or shy away, she crawled right on my finger and started cleaning me.

Any time I had to pick her up she would come out of her shell even more and say hi knowing I came with food and love.

She would spend HOURS surfing the waters surface, she loved playing in bubbles and her favorite food was broccoli.

I noticed she was slowing down and was more dull than usual, so I offered some carrot as she had never tried it before and then made an extra strength snello with extra calcium to try and get her extra nutrients.

I’m happy to say she enjoyed her own chunk of carrot and snello but has passed. Today will be the 3rd day of her gone and I’m really upset about it.

But I’m seeing her babys now ❤️ I’m glad she lives on and I’ll have more little leviathans to care for.

Rip leviathan, I will miss you greatly.

The last 2 photos are the first day I brought her home, when I reached in to take her out the first thing she did was start cleaning me.

(Accidentally dropped something on that messed up one before putting it in the freezer)

Finally took my shot at snello today!

Google said to use 1 Tbsp of gelatin per cup of purée and I ended up with about 2 cups.

1 head of broccoli, 1 zucchini, and 1 package of spinach. I also baked and crushed 7 egg shells, added 2 Tbsp of fish flakes, 1 Tbsp of freeze dried blood worms for extra protein and 3 ground algae wafers.

I boiled the broccoli for about 7 min until soft, then added the zucchini, cooked for about 4, then added the spinach and cooked until everything was Mashable.

I drained it but saved the stock, adding in small amounts at a time while using my emulsion blender until smooth.

Then I blended in the egg shells and the other ingredients.

Last thing I added was the gelatin and spooned it into my molds! I plan on breaking these up a bit before feeding.

Any advice would be great! This was my first time making it, I have lots of snails and a hand full shrimps in my 20 gallon, and I didn’t want anyone competing for food :)

Hey! To start off, I’ve had Leviathan my Big eared Radix for almost 3 months. In warm water I know they don’t live as long as cold water and she was already really large when I got her.

I just noticed today that she’s been really slow, and not really wanting to do a whole lot.

She ate when I offered her food but other wise Is just slowly making her way through the tank.

She is in a 20 gallon long, planted, heated and filtered tank.

Should I move her to a smaller tank? Or should I leave her in the large tank? I just want my girl to be comfortable, she’s about the size of my thumb now and I’ve also noticed she’s kind of keeping herself a lot more tucked in than usual.

She doesn’t hide in her shell or anything when I pick her up like usual but she’s just slower and not doing her usual snail business.

She loves climbing and spending her time on the water surface before taking a nap on my water Lilly which is her favorite plant.

I’m devastated I might loose her soon but I really just want her to be comfortable if she really is getting close.

Google said they live 6 months- a year in warmer water since their metabolism speeds up. And they don’t grow all that fast considering her baby’s right now are only the size of baby bladder snails, so considering her size that’s also why I think she’s getting old.

Last 2 photos are of her now, the rest are before.

She’s also getting duller and isn’t quite as “shiny” is the best way to describe her almost glitter like pattern.

Technically not a snail but he will be cooked and turned into snail food when I get home 👍 got bored and made him at work!

These were sold to me as orange bee neos. I got 2 pregnant females, 1 we thought was male and a “we don’t know”. Unfortunately one mother had a mismolt but everyone else is doing great! I think mother 2 has dropped her eggs, but I was kind of expecting it since it was such a large move.

Let me know if you need better photos! I’ll do 1 photo of each shrimp for easy labeling of 1,2 and 3. If you need a better picture I’m happy to supply more!

I just want to know if I need to go get any more of either gender to get some Maggie’s around here

Not sure if this is allowed but if it is he is looking for a home. He’s not neutered, but is very loving. He’s a stray, so also would need his shots.

I’m referring to him as goblin :)

Btw I’m located by west bottoms kcmo, while I don’t have a car at the moment I’m sure a finding a ride won’t be a problem though.

He was found by my boyfriend’s dad in garnet. 2nd cat that’s found us! Last 4th of July I found a tiny black kitten we called goob. He lives happily with one of my friends!

He’s a grey tabby, not sure how old either. I’d have to ask for his weight.

Sorry if it’s rambling, just trying to fill the paragraph requirement!

This is leviathan, she’s my big ear radix!

I originally got a mystery snail, I have a 20 gallon and I was told they usually have really strong personalities. If you call sleeping, eating and pooping all day a strong personality then sure!

I recently had surgery and 2 weeks before I saw this little glittery snail at my Petco, I wanted it so bad but didn’t know anything about it so I took pictures to id and left it.

3 weeks into my surgery she is still there. So naturally I take her and her counterpart Cthulhu home.

She LOVES people!! She takes little naps on the water Lilly, is constantly around the tank, loves playing in bubbles and gliding on the water surface. She is the most unique snail I’ve ever met. While Cthulhu would hide in his shell when he saw me, leviathan never shied away. The first thing she did was climb onto my hands.

I’m also starting to see baby leviathans 🤭

Please help! I have. 20 gallon long, filtered and heated tank. I have a male betta in there but he’s getting old so doesn’t really care about any other living things in his tank anymore.

I picked up leviathan my biggest big ear radix from the pet store for free. I love her so much.

Later I saw a 2nd one, I named him Cthulhu, he was just a little smaller than leviathan.

And then my friend called and said he had another one he rescued from a tank his class was dumping out. Of course I took him, especially being another radix. He was the smallest so his name was Jim (jimmy) the destroyer of worlds.

I am DEVASTATED! I found what I’ve determined to be Cthulhu’s shell empty and just found Jim’s shell with him still in it but literally torn apart. I don’t want this to happen to leviathan or any of my many snails.

I have a large mystery named Thor, a large MTS and lots of tiny MTS. + the usual ramshorns and bladders. I cull when the population grows too much and I feed regularly, okra, broccoli, and algae wafers. Looking into spinach and zucchini too. Please help! I love my snails so much and finding Lil Jim like that broke my heart 💔.

Please excuse the poor quality photos, my big MTS was blocking one of the photos cause that’s what he does, and jimmy is tucked behind some plants but I moved his shell to see if he was ok and he was not. So sorry again about the photo quality.
