Is anyone else getting a really annoying bug where gun scopes when you're not pressing scope? Never had it before the last few games I played, and my god is it annoying, I swear the list of widow bugs is piling.
Wanting to add some more cover, mostly on the high ground of the terrarium, I have a bunch of pothos, Acasia and a couple fake plants I plan to replace. Anyone got any good suggestions?
Wanting to for sure add some ferns, not sure which species would be best.
How long did it take you to tame your gargoyles? Just recently started the process with my new baby, Got them almost a month ago, taking it slow and steady, just was wondering how long it took for other people, and if anyone has any tips?
Anyone got any idea what plants would be safe to keep in a millipede enclosure? Worried in case they try eat the plants, not sure what's toxic to them, but I'd like to make their enclosure enriched with plants if possible.
As titled, is this grooming behaviour or something else?
Heatwave is back so I misted and she came out for a drink and just caught her doing this
Hi so I thought I had success in getting my new gecko to eat, but seems to be refusing again.
It's about 3 months old at the moment, which I know it's crucial for it to be eating regularly so they can grow happy and healthy, but I'm very worried its not eating at all—ive had the fella just over 2 weeks, I know it takes some time for them to get used to a new enclosure but it is worrying me given how young it is.
I know it has eaten a morio worm about a week ago unless the worm somehow escaped the deep dish, but it doesn't appear to be eating any cgd, every time I go to take out the bowls in the morning, they look untouched.
I've tried feeding by hand to just make sure it's getting at least a little bit of something, it was working for a bit but had to have a lot of time and patience as it would only have a bit then lose interest. I have another flavour from a past species I kept so I'm going to try that flavour tonight, maybe it'll prefer it.
I've just received my delivery of micro crickets, hoping fella will at least eat these, but I need some help in regards to how I should go about it as I know they get protein hungry and might bite the gecko, but they are micro and there's just no way I will be able to ever catch them if I let them loose in the tank.
If anyone's got any tips anything that may work to secure the crickets or help my gecko eat cgd that would be greatly appreciated. I know it's early days and it's probably still just adjusting, I just stress really bad any time I have a new species, I fear I will do something wrong, and lack of eating is very worrying.
Also, how do people weigh their new baby geckos? how do they not just run like there's no tomorrow? I wanna start weighing to see if it's eating without me noticing or if it is actually starving itself, but fella has no trust in my yet and I fear stressing it by grabbing to weigh it when it's running away, isn't gonna help me to get it to eat.
Just wondering if anyone else's whip scorpion rearranges their enclosure ??
I have a fair bit of sphagnum moss around the enclosure and I've caught my whip physically grabbing the moss and moving it or biting it and putting it away. Not hungry at all, she does this sometimes even a few hours after feeding, she made herself another crevice between 2 cork barks by removing the moss from between them. Just a few minutes ago I caught her at the front glass of the enclosure grabbing moss biting and then moving it away.
Temperature, eating, humidity all fine as always.
Is this normal behaviour, is she just a bit quirky or is something wrong lol
New gecko dad here, got my baby in a tank as bioactive as possible (used an old isopod/insect terrarium for the substrate) got isopods, millipedes, worms all of that jazz, so I'm wondering whether it might just be eating the creatures it's finding around the enclosure? Everyday I've been trying to get it to eat a cricket or mealworm or roach if I have any small ones, but fella's not budging.
I'm feeding them CGD daily as well, just don't know if they're being picky with the insects or if there's a chance they're eating the bugs from the soil. Trying my best to keep this baby happy and healthy so if anyone has any tips or info would be great.
I've noticed one of my millipedes walking slower or dangling his tail end off the bark and looking like this.
First time millipede owner, have had a few of these fellas since February and had no issues since, they're all incredibly active and doing all they should. Temperature has been a bit higher than usual due to the insane heatwave but not over 27° max, humidity stays around 70% — huge storage box enclosure converted to vivarium, substrate taller than longest millipede, correct substrate mix, all that stuff.
Could this be a surface moult? fungal infection? Should I do anything or do I have to just wait and see?
I did do a clean last weekend, moved them to a temporary enclosure (all looked perfectly fine and healthy), added a drainage layer as I didn't have one before and it did worry me a bit—but the soil was perfectly damp throughout anyways, added more substrate leaf litter and they have been loving it.
This fella seemed completely alright this morning I didn't take a close look but I saw both my pink legged millis wondering around at their normal pace, been slower since I got home from work a few hours ago.
Is there like a rough time period that a molt can take?
First time millipede owner and have kept 4 giant millipedes since February, incredibly active usually and all behaving normal til 2 disappeared and I haven't seen them in about a week now.
As an owner of many pets I am always stressed about the making sure my animals are all healthy, and going into the millipede hobby I knew the molts will be anxiety inducing for me due to the fact they can just disappear for ages—I'm already fairly worried now wondering if the soil is in good condition for molts, if I've left too many things that they climb on on top of the soil so they can't dig their way out—all the different situations playing in my head lol.
They're in a big ass storage box converted to vivarium, half filled with substrate, half with cork bark and branches and all sorts for them to climb, humidity stable with one side more humid and colder. Did recently have a really bad heatwave which was incredibly stressful to deal with, but they all seemed completely fine for the next few days and the 2 that are still active are perfectly fine.
Long story short, what point do I fr worry/how long do I thug it out to see if they're alright?
Anyone know what's the best place for getting gargoyles other than morph market? Or is there anyone round north Lincolnshire who's selling some?
I've had a setup ready for weeks and it seems that every time I find an ad anywhere for one that's close enough distance, when I message the seller it's already gone

I just got an absolute bargain off of marketplace, it's a roughly 90x45x60 arboreal enclosure. At the moment I'm thinking of getting milk frogs, but not entirely sure yet.
Anyone got any ideas what would be happy living in that size of an enclosure? Open to any climate type though, I assume it'll most likely be tropicals that would thrive in there.
I am fairly experienced in animal keeping I've had hundreds of different species including reptiles amphibians and general inverts since I was a kid.
