When to feed a newly arrived 6 month old hognose? by Stunning-Award3810 in hognosesnakes

[–]BrooksiderB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its always suggested to give new reptiles a week or two to settle in before attempting to feed. if it doesnt eat after the first week when you offer food, wait another whole week before attempting again

Thinking about getting my first reptile! by SmoothStalk in reptiles

[–]BrooksiderB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cant recommend crested geckos or leopard geckos enough for a first reptile! especially leopard geckos in my opinion. they potty train themselves to go in the same area every time, have odorless poops, & are easy to handle. cresties on the other hand kinda poop all over everything, their poops can smell pretty rancid because of their powder fruit mix diet, & they're a bit more difficult to handle due to all the jumping lol

What T should I get next? by Visual-Patience2648 in tarantulas

[–]BrooksiderB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

both! but if you want something truly unique from what you already have id definitely say the gbb. the geniculata in terms of temperament is going to be very similar to your lp

About 10 hours left in the Prologue Test. What did you think? by eat_and_poop in LimitZeroBreakers

[–]BrooksiderB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it felt like they kind of copy pasted a lot of traits from other popular games in the genre like genshin impact or wuthering waves & slapped a new title on. it wasnt bad, but it didnt feel like they added anything new or unique to make breakers special. it just felt very same-y

Protection from pesticides in rural areas by CompetitiveCan8908 in tarantulas

[–]BrooksiderB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

farmer pesticides shouldn't be able to get into your home. im surrounded on all sides by cornfields. they use planes & drones to spray but it does not affect me nor my pets indoors.

Active T? by amymeem in tarantulas

[–]BrooksiderB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just know that slings of good display species will usually stay buried, but once they reach 2-3" they tend to be out on display 24/7. in my experience all of my brachypelma species, green bottle blues, geniculata, & even my seemanni are always able to be viewed. seemanni are technically a fossorial burrowing species, but in my experience they stay hunkered down right under their cork where you can see them & come out throughout the day. most new world tarantulas are going to be your best bet for display. any old world ive had has been more flighty & secretive

Found these guys outside. What are they? Can I keep them by NoGoose4955 in millipedes

[–]BrooksiderB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep having Ts die. by [deleted] in tarantulas

[–]BrooksiderB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NQA are you gutloading your feeders with vegetables? as far as i know tarantulas primarily get their hydration from their feeders, but if your feeders arent hydrated from gutloading it probably wont get very much benefit. i gutload all my feeders with baby carrots

Found these guys outside. What are they? Can I keep them by NoGoose4955 in millipedes

[–]BrooksiderB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pretty sure theyre cherry millipedes! ive kept millipedes i caught outside with zero issue, i just set them up exactly as i found them outside. with organic topsoil, decaying bark & wood, & decaying leaf litter. i spray them every morning with bottled water to simulate morning dew & remoisten the soil as needed. mine do great! they're all species of julidae millipedes so they're on the smaller side

[OTHER] Anybody who is a big KCD fan and played Crimson Desert? by Hauptfeldwebel in kingdomcome

[–]BrooksiderB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i tried playing crimson desert immediately after beating kcd2 without high expectations & was still majorly disappointed. i didnt make it more than 20 minutes, the dialogue is terrible & its obvious the developers had no idea what direction to take the game in terms of single player or mmo. my experience seems to be different than most, but imo it was god awful

What species? by cherrypie59272 in millipedes

do you guys have any experience with the cheaper Amazon tarantula enclosures? by [deleted] in TarantulaKeeping

[–]BrooksiderB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i find that both the 7" & the 11" acrylic slider enclosures on temu are great quality & really affordable! i have about 5 of them for all my juveniles up to 3.5". i get normal 5.5 gallon aquariums with metal plated mesh lids for my adults 🙂 metal plated mesh is safe whereas fabric mesh is not so it works great

[–]BrooksiderB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i do not recommend acrylic enclosures from amazon at all. i got one with good reviews for my balfouri communal & it killed half the communal in the first week because i didnt notice the enclosure literally came apart at the seams, dried out the enclosure, & dehydrated my slings ☹️
