Saw this on The Friendly Jumping Spider on Facebook yesterday and lowkey lost my shit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before.
The male made his hammock on top of a females to ensure he mates with her when she’s mature. And they just live together like that 😭 They said that there’s ample food in their yard so they don’t have the need to compete.
I’m just annoyed. I was really hoping I would luck out and get my own Thai for $15 today. They were sold out. Fair- I waited a little long since hearing the news, but I was finally in the area and had some time. Oh well, so I decided to buy a couple other plants from a seller I’ve been looking at. Started scrolling the feed before messaging them and saw THIS … like seriously? Go ahead block me, because you know I’m right and I’m not afraid to call you out. I would never want to do business with some shady gatekeeping dh like that. Idk sure cool you’re about that money but you’re not a good person.
Anyways I got myself a few much nicer plants for the same price as the Thais should’ve been. Suck it Lei Wang. I hope everyone sees right through you.
Sorry for the negativity. Am I the only one who thinks this is messed up?
These little babies are growing well :) I just realized that the older leaf in the first pic is probably the same succulent as the fresher one? (I was prop lifting two different days lol) So now I feel pretty convinced that the second one is fasciated, and wanted to share and get your opinions here! I also don’t even know what exact succulent these are so if anyone could maybe help me with ID too I’d appreciate it! I’m still kinda new to succulents.
Kitty is living up to her name smh. She’s super active and seemed hungry so I offered her a roach. She took it and went back towards her hammock so I didn’t feel a rush to close the door. While feeding her I noticed a little ribbon jumper crawling on my orbgrow light so I wanted to move it somewhere better bc THATS NOT THE SUN YO. And yeah she took the chance… next thing ik I see the roaches body sticking out the top of her container. I couldn’t even move quick enough to guide her back 💀 (photo of my CAT Bella, Kitty’s namesake 🥰) she’s so lucky I don’t have anywhere else to be right now.
My sweet new baby, Kitty ❤️ I got her at the reptile expo today from a great breeder. I’ve been in a bad funk and she’s really giving my spirits the biggest uppies. I’m SO happy I love her so much 😭 as with all my babies but omg. She’s way more used to being handled than my other two ladies ever have been (actually probably more than any of my spiders ever I think) and really seems to like hanging out… well mostly doing spooder zoomies so far lol. But, among the chaos of making her get in, and stay in her new room, I was able to get some really cute videos and screenshots.
I really just wanted to share her cute self, but I would also love to know if anyone here could share any tips or anything for good spooder containers? Just wondering if there’s anything I’m unaware of that I can shop around for. Looking for larger size kind of enclosures :) thanks!
A while ago I was given a whole bunch of plants from a coworker because she couldn’t keep them. I found homes for most of them and kept a few including this little philo. I am unsure exactly what species she is and would really love to know. She’s giving something like a pink princess x Florida ghost hybrid but I really don’t know much about this stuff. She has a more woody stem like my ghost and grows slow. Please excuse the mess that she is I know she minimally needs a repot, and the new leaves still don’t seem to be putting out any pink so I’m guessing she definitely needs more direct sun. Idk, an ID and any tips are much appreciated! Thanks :)
Edit: Strawberry Shake!! Thank you!
Do you guys have any care tips? I plan to repot into terracotta- I waited longer than intended because she made a little baby that I didn’t want to damage 🥹 and I have some tiny terracotta for the baby. And I have chunky soil supplies- a soil base, orchid bark, rice hulls. Also the lighting I’m sure is where I’m especially lacking. I very recently bought my first grow lights- I got a barrina orbgrow 2 bulb 22w 4000k, but I’m guessing I should buy a stronger one? I was nervous to go too strong to start.
