    Anyone ever raise wolf spiders?

    Only biology and invertebrate nuts allowed, no "squish it!" people! At work I was tossing something out and found a small wolf spider and her egg sac. She was tucked into some thick webbing and once I broke that, she ran away. But then I found an actual egg sack underneath the webbing. Once I...

    Budget mansion (winter home for temperate baby)

    Hello, friends! Everyone here is always posting their beautiful carpentry skills. Here's what I can do! ?‍♀️ I miscounted panels, the foil will eventually be replaced. Foil works in a pinch, but it takes longer for temps to climb back up if you open it up All electronics secured with...

    I'm no longer the groomer without a dog

    It's been years and years since I've had a dog and I didn't think I wanted one, but recent events led me to this bundle of trouble. This is Echo. She is a Pyrenees/husky mix. Both of her breeds really shine through. She is quiet and reserved - until she has an opinion about something! Very...

    Help locating a specific bulb and/or hood

    Maybe I'm just tired, but I've been searching and I can't seem to find this size bulb anywhere in any brand. I found something on Amazon that could be it, but the description says made in China. All of my Zoo Med bulbs say made in Germany, so I think the Amazon one may be a fake. Anyone know...

    Large juvenile cherryhead - Wilmington NC/Myrtle Beach area

    Relocating and concerned for my red foot's welfare. I would prefer this tortoise stay in the Southeast/coastal/humid region. I can deliver, depending on distance. No shipping. They are chunky, but still able to fully tuck up. Born July 2019. From top of the shell to the bottom, they are about...

    A little bit of silliness

    This gave me a chuckle and I wanted to share it with my fellow tortoise nerds.

    Have plastic Christmas tree totes gone extinct?

    This is the third year that I've kept my eyes out for one of these magical plastic bins of enormous size, but I've still yet to see one. I'm not sad to see less plastic in the world, but they still make bins that are twenty feet tall instead of long ?

    Got to say hi to the janitors this morning :)

    Sometimes I’ll see a worm tunnel, and the springtails are annoyingly bold, but it always cheers me up when I get to see the shy little rolies! (Dwarf tropical isopods) Hopefully they clear off the food slate before the dinosaur wakes up ?

    My dirty boy is growing up!

    Carbo has really started to marble! He’s not too happy with my photo shenanigans. I’m sure he wants me throw him a shrimp, go back to work, and leave him alone ?

    The perks of living in the Southeast

    I'll be joining camp Redfoot soon! I have a 40B to start a hatchling, and we custom cut some polycarbonate panels to cover the mesh around the light bar/CHE. Four days ago, I added moist soil and orchid bark to the setup. No heat or lights on right now, I'm still waiting on plants to come in...

    Raleigh Repticon

    Yeah, another Repticon thread, but this one is because I’m still unclear on whether NC expo’s are allowed to sell torts or turtles yet. The vendor page said no, but a friend told me that she’s seen tortoises at the Raleigh Repticon earlier in the year (as well as other restricted species)...

    Is blue-green algae bloom toxic to turtles?

    Several pets in the area have died from the bacterial bloom this summer and I'm kind of worried about my pals out at the pond. I couldn't find much information about it being toxic to freshwater animals, but one article suggested that it can kill sea turtles. Here's two of the mud-butts...

    New here! Still in research phase

    Hello! I've been lurking for a bit but decided it was time to join. More and more I've become interested in having a tort and I think I'm finally going to take the first step and start working on a table for one. One thing I do to relax is bring veggies and mealworms to the turtles at a nearby...
