I soak mine regularly, esp since they are redfoot. In addition, I set up a misting system on a timer in their enclosure. I think they like it- they come out when it’s spraying to walk through it and hunt for possible worms! Haha

Yeah. I knew it in my brain. My heart just felt bad for the guy. I don’t know what sex mine are- waiting to increase my creep until I know for sure. Will be years from now. Thanks!

Much appreciated! We busted our butts building this enclosure. It was a lot of work, but seems to be holding up. Full folder with details in FB https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10159147605787029&type=3

I am considering adopting a male red foot who has had his penis surgically removed after a neglected prolapse. Does anyone know if that lessens male aggresion around other males? Do they still express a constant need to mate?

Thanks. Good to know they are not pests. Soil a bit too wet right now from recent downpours- once it dries out some, I bet they vanish.

I was told maybe a scud or lawn shrimp. Still not sure if they are beneficial in my tortoise enclosure

I raise isopods/springtails and have never seen one that looks anything like this. How sure are you? Thanks

Caught a slightly clearer pic. Lots of legs

Google keeps telling me it’s a German cockroach, but it’s not… has no wings and is smaller. I thought maybe spring tail, but it seems big (largest I saw was 4 or 5 mm) and doesn’t match any pics I see online. Thanks for response. Frustrating

Can anyone ID? Range from 1-4mm in size. Bounces off when touched, like a flea. Curls when disturbed. Friend or foe? Thank you.

We aren’t that far yet! Just getting the bottom frame & leg braces. Walls, etc still to come.

I am building a large indoor enclosure for winter months, and will need to have a greenhouse topper. We plan to build a custom PVC pipe topper frame, but my big question is what is the best material to buy to make the actual cover? I plan to sew it to fit our PVC frame, but would like something...
