Emerald Euphoria beetle. was hard to get a good pic because I didn’t wanna disturb it and trigger it to fly off. Now we wait on the other 3

I own a curly hair tarantula and a asain forest scorpion and i love them so far, i set up another enclosure and i really wanted to get african millipedes but they are out of budget. Idk how many gallons my enclosure is but it is 13 in tall, 16 in width and 24 in length. I have a drainage layer at the bottom with around 5 inches of coconut fiber on top. If anyone has some ideas of what pets could live comfortably in here i would appreciate it! Thanks

Alguien en chile que sepa sobre invertebrados y sobre si se puede importar algun crustaceo desde fuera?

Looking for Simandoa conserfariam breeders in the northeastern US but everyone I can find is either on the west coast or has a bad reputation (wormman)

Currently looking at The Roach Ranch but they are out of stock and idk when they will go back in stock!

Any other people or places I can look?

I've had my BDFB for a while now. I have 5 and they are doing great in their fairly large 18 * 18 inch (45cm) enclosure.

They do use the space but there probably is room for another critter in there. However, I dont want to cause the little fellas any distress or issues.

I have people say dessert hairy scorpions can cohab but id like to hear people's real world experience of that. I have heard velvet ants can too but they are basically impossible to get here in the UK.

I love spiders, millipedes, roaches and ants

Isopods are overrated

Any one selling pseudoscorpion in the USA

how do i keep plants alive in a settup without direct sunlight? do i meed to invest in a growlight? any recommendations for hardy plants to include/grow light if i need one? thx!

I currently use half peat moss and half organic topsoil but it doesn’t hold humidity very well

I just made a set up for 4 blue death beetles, I have dried everything in the oven and made sure the succulents were clean and fully dried before putting them in there.

But the humidity still sits at 45%.

(They aren't in the enclosure yet)

I tried turning on a low wattage heat lamp to help but it really hasn't. What can I do?

I'm thinking about getting a captive bred specimen when I have the resources for it. I've been doing research and putting doing a care sheet for me to look back on and update when needed, so any input would be appreciated.

My sister's bf bought this Discoid roach as a feeder, but he's too big for the lizard to eat. I offered to take him off their hands because I love bugs and I think he's too cute.

I've been doing a bit of research into them, but all the information I can find for enclosures is from breeders (who I don't necessarily trust). Can anyone tell me what kind of enclosure or enrichment would make this little dude happy?

EDIT: also, if anyone can clarify whether he needs enclosure mates and what that should look like, that would be lovely!

As the title says, looking into blue death feigning beetles. I have a 5 gal fish tank that I'm about to shut down after losing my beta. Would a 5 gal fish tank work for a beginner set up for some beetles? I would need to get a mesh top but I think that's it?

Hello guys, I'm looking for an invert that would fit these requirements:

- nocturnal

- could comfortably live in in 30x20x20cm enclosure or smaller (I could probably stretch it to 30x30x30, but if this is avoidable - that'd be great:D)

- doasn't require supplementary heat (my room is usually at 22-25c, or 71-77f)

- can live in a nice looking, preferably even bioactive enclosure

- active and interesting to watch

- not too challenging to keep

- would be okay with being kept on my desk - I work remotely, mostly night shifts, so I spend a lof of time there

I am okay with pets that have to be kept communally, but just one guy is fine as well! I don't need anything very handleable but it'd be nice. Death feigning beetles aren't really available where I live, unfortunately :// Please don't recommend isopods as I'm already aware of their existance and even have some! Love these little guys

I really love watching my animals but all of them are diurnal (aside from isopods, but the ones I have are very shy), I want a friend to keep me company when I'm working night shifts :)

I already have some things in mind (milipedes, mostly) but wanted to ask you here to get some more ideas! Thank you in advance

My davidbowie molted today after 5 and a half months, a strange hunger strike, a voracious hunting period for the past few weeks, and is now looking pretty feminine. Don't know for sure yet, but it's a lot better than thinking this was a male for the past few months.
