More Updates

 Hi. Welcome again to another post.

Today I just want to share a few updates from these few days.

Let's start off with the harvestmen, TJ from Invertebrate Dude actually suggested a name I really like for them.

Pseudogagrella sp. "Berastagi Pale Faced"

And they have just eaten some protein. (Fish pellets)




Pseudogagrella sp. "Berastagi Pale Faced" eating

Although some do not have pale faces, the majority do so I don't think it really matters.

Secondly is my house gecko who I named Chicken. Because... He looks like raw chicken



Hemidactylus frenatus

Isn't he so cute?

I love Hemidactylus species so much.

Lastly I want to show you the Gonocephalum cf. coenosum feeding.

I have never got to see them eat but this time they were FIGHTING for the food, lol

Gonocephalum cf. coenosum feeding on pellet

Meanwhile these guys are all aggressively fighting for the food..


This little dude is just peacefully strolling around munching on the wood, lol 😂

"I have no enemies"

Anyway, that's all for this post. Thanks for reading and goodbye! 🙏👋

New Roaches

Image
 Hello everyone. Today I had just received a package containing some really cool roach species. All three species are locally sourced by the seller, occuring in South Sumatra.  This species is more of a burrower and a more secretive species, and was said to mimic beetles. This is Ergaula cf. pilosa, a larger species of Ergaula said to reach about 3-4cm in length.  Ergaula cf. pilosa cup  This was the cup I received them in, I got around 20-ish nymphs and a single adult male which could have matured in shipping or with the seller. I did find a few pretty large female nymphs, so I'm expecting to find some adult females popping out soon, and hopefully producing more nymphs. Ergaula cf. pilosa enclosure I am keeping them in this 35x26x18 (cm) storage tub with around 5cm of substrate (top soil) with some leaf litter, sphagnum, and locally sourced bark. Ergaula cf. pilosa possibly female nymph Next is also a mimic, but this time a batesian mimic. (Mimicking a more harmful ...

Seattle Invertebrates

 Hi everyone. I'm currently on vacation in Seattle, where today I went to a nature reserve called Schmitz Preserve Park. Schmitz Preserve Park sign The reserve is located in the West of Seattle and is a 53 acre park around 15 blocks east of Alki Point and Beach (where I found some sandhoppers!). I went down some stairs to see this! Definitely didn't disappoint 😁  I was very sure that I would find a lot of invertebrates here. When I found the first log that I could flip, I found this possibly Ambigolimax valentianus and some Porcellio scaber. But there was one that did sparked my interest There was this one scaber that had a faint calico pattern. I've never personally seen P. scaber before because they aren't found in my country and its hobby stock, but looking at pictures of the wild types I don't think many specimens are like this one. Pretty cool to see I also saw this Condica illecta perching on a small rock. After that, I decided to go further. As I went furthe...

Hello!

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my first blog post. Here, I want to share my hobby of keeping invertebrates, herps, and more. I am looking forward to be able to share any updates or additions here. Now, let me showcase some new additions to the collection. This is a female Oxyopes lineatipes, a species of lynx spider. I see that she really loves eating fruits flies, and that makes sense because in the wild they do primarily feed on Dipterans and other flying insects. Here she is feeding on a fruit fly. Next up, I would like to showcase a new group of Amata huebneri larvae that I just acquired today. Pretty gnarly looking! And last but not least, is a species of land snail that I really love as of now. They are Bradybaena similaris, the Asian tramp snails. They are super hardy, are VORACIOUS eaters, and have a lot of babies when they breed. Not to mention they are beautiful! Three of them munching on a slice of cucumber sprinkled with some delicious calcium powder. :D Anyway, that's all...
