RULES

what type of insects would be okay with this enclosure? it is probably around 4-5 gallons

When you look at both options,they both have their pros and cons.

With scatter feeding, you prevent your little guys from crowding, but you run the risk of molding if you miss a spot while cleaning it up.

With bowl feeding, it’s easier to clean, but there’s the risk of it getting knocked over and and possibly cause harm to an invert that happens to get stuck.

He is horrifying and I don’t plan on ever handling him

No millipedes or spiders, what to put in a 8 gallon tropic setup tank?

must not be for feeding and must know how to care for them

I have a spare 18x18x18 Exo Terra and would like to start using it again. It seems to be an odd dimension tank, not enough floor space for most things, way too wide for a mantis or jumping spider. I used to use it for a baby carpet python until it was big enough for a larger enclosure.

So what would be a good use for this? Most species I can think of seem like they will only use the lower part. An arboreal tarantula might work but my wife is afraid of tarantulas.

Is there a good way to do some sort of mixed/community setup with something living on the bottom (like maybe isopods) and something else that lives/climbs above? The best I can think of is a couple of dart frogs with isopods maybe but I don't know enough about darts yet. Are there any bigger inverts that would use the vertical space?

Whatever it is, I'd like it to be a nice display style tank that I can keep by my work desk so bigger, more active, and more colorful is a plus.

Any ideas welcome!

I love her I’m so glad I get to see her again

Hello fellow invert parents!

Anyone who keeps wolf spiders - what size enclosure do you use? I feel like I see a wide range of size enclosures for them and I'm just not sure what to go for.

one of my feeders puated, i wanna keep him. its name will be "asshole muncher".

So I was looking through my classmate's old labs and found this guy in a 3-month old sealed bag of dirt. To my surprise, he was SUPER alive and was moving quite a bit. I think he's a junebug grub, given that this is the Houston suburbs and that's the most common beetle (that i've seen), but i'm not really sure.

Does anyone have any tips for taking care of him? He's currently in a tupperware with dirt from the original bag about an inch deep and some decomposing leaves/twigs that I've boiled. Also, are grubs supposed to be completely emerged? I buried him back after taking these photos but I just wanna make sure.

Also, eta for how long I can expect to care for him for..? I go to college in late june/early july and I want to know if I can expect to see him fully grown or at least as a pupa by the time I leave

What to put in here. Might do a sling or a baby vigeroon.

What kind of reptile/critter would this rectangular front opening enclosure be suitable for?

Does anyone know if spiny leaf stick insects can eat lemon verbena?

I love bonsai and inverts. What species would do well with one?

Hello everyone! Recently i made a subreddit called munchverts! It is a sub that you can post pictures and or videos of your little critters munching! Whether that be isopods, spiders, or other invertebrates or non invertebrates we love them all! We're trying to make munchverts a nice family-friendly sub where redditors can hang out, talk, and post their creatures munching! We hope to see you there!

I will most likely be getting one this weekend, and have done a ton of research. Anything else I should know?

I love my ancient land shrimps, and I want to keep hexapods like bristletails, but nobody sells them and I have no idea if I can find them where I live. Any sellers/suggestions?

i’m aware that they can’t have anything with citrus, are there any other foods that are dangerous for them?

I have a fairly large colony of Hissing Roaches (not massive, but over 50 and I started with 4!) and I'm starting to think some of them may be a little more greedy than others.... Take Gary here for example.
