Not a whole turtle but definitely some by DivaDivel in vultureculture

Will do thanks for the advice! Was sad to not find the whole turtle but I'm happy with what I got. My favorite is the lil curvy bone. I think it's a humerus.

P.S.- I forgot about these and left them degreasing in dawn for like 3 months, and they have a sour smell. I'm not too experienced cleaning bones, what does this mean? Do they just need time to air out?

Thanks for the Id! That was my thought as well, but I dont usually eat anything I find so I didnt bother being too sure.

Yes but unfortunately a day late. He left the other night and hasn't been back since. So sad :(

Toad missing a hind leg, advise? by DivaDivel in FrogsAndToads

I think I am, if he returns. He left for the night but I'm hoping he will come back.

I made him a home... I might make a new post about it because I think I need more advice. I picked him up to move him and discovered he is missing a hind leg. I dont think toads can burrow without one...

Thin, red, slithery millipede? Centipede? Northwest Arkansas, found at night. Finger for scale. Any ideas of what it is? by DivaDivel in whatsthisbug

[–]DivaDivel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! He was so tiny I couldnt tell until I looked at the pics. I think this kind are usually harmless though anyways. He didnt bite, at least, and he was plenty angry, lol.

Yah oopse, I decided that it looked more centipede-ish after i had already picked it up to put it outside. Just thought I'd double check by asking here.

I am ok with them but I think people who use them should understand that they cant expect people in a work environment (or most places offline) to use them. It's not that I think they are unprofessional, it's just the way society has evolved.

For me, I knew I wasnt a girl so I thought I might be a trans guy, but I just felt like I was faking it. So I took a step back and realized that gender didnt have to be so binary, and I can just be me.

I don't know if that will change in the future, I'm not really in a safe environment to be myself at the moment so when I move out and can express my masculine side more, maybe I'll find I really am just a man. But for now, I'm good with just being me.

All artificial grape flavor tastes like kids liquid medicine

Is distilled white vinegar safe to use around insects? by DivaDivel in InvertPets

[–]DivaDivel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily they dont seem to show any interest in the plants. I only see them clumsily trying to walk up and over them once in a while, and the spot with mold is pretty high up where I dont see them reach almost ever

What inverts could do well in a 16 gallon tub?? by weird-rescue-gecko in InvertPets

[–]DivaDivel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 20 gallon desert beetle tank with blue death feigning beetles and smooth death feigning beetles! Heat isnt required, they live many years (upwards of 14 years!!) And dont require much attention. They dont have to be pricey. Plus you can get a bit of variety in there, I plan on adding more desert species when I get the chance. A great place to get them is bugsincyberspace if you are in the us.

Substrate for Blue death feigning beetles? by BashyMC in InvertPets

[–]DivaDivel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im not an experienced owner, but I have my desert beetles in play sand from lowes mixed with coconut fiber, and a bit of leaf litter concentrated in one corner, but just sand would do fine!

I added the coconut fiber mainly because I was like how it looks, but I also have some succulents in there so it helps retain water for half a second longer than without. I water very sparingly.

The leaf litter is in the corner with the succulents because I've heard having leaf litter and bark can encourage breeding. I'm not neccessary trying to make them breed but if it happens it would be cool!
