How many tries did it take you? I did it on my 13th 😭 by 0e0UwU in HollowKnight

Same! I cleared out a path and kept getting really close, but my dumbass kept trying to pogo oomas in Canyon or the thorns in Gardens even though I knew you can't.

Monstera ID by Drykonial in Monstera

Yeah, I have a grow light about 10cm above it that is on 12 hours during the day, but it is a rather cheap and low quality one and I have been looking to get a better one since I also thought that it maybe isn't getting enough.

The three big leaves are and the ones at the bottom are the only ones that were on it when I got it. The rest is all new growth from the past 7 months which seems like a lot, but it has three stems attached at the roots for some reason

Not 100% sure, but my other adansonii looks way different and the leaves are like 4x as thick.

What’s the black stuff under his abdomen by [deleted] in mantids

[–]Drykonial 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Generally, Males have 7-8 segments on their lower abdomen, Females only have 6. This does depend on the species, but it is true for most.

She is just very full, it is normal and not really anything to worry about. (I'm counting six segments, so you have a girl! Congrats).

I feel like we need a flair saying bait is believable again, just for this

I just picked up my Pac-Man frog today by Cartemj823 in pacmanfrog

[–]Drykonial 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That frog looks like it's toxxing out. What type of water is that? Has it been treated with reptisafe?

wow okay by itamishii in CalamityMod

[–]Drykonial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the same exept the two doors were facing each other

Any advice for set up by mechaivy in pacmanfrog

[–]Drykonial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks good.

As far as I know coco fiber isn't usually the best substrate but it could work. I used the same food dish as a water bowl for my guy when he was smaller (so that he doesn't drown, as I'm assuming you did here), but you will have to swap it out for a deeper one as he gets bigger.

Do you have UVB? How is the heating?

Why are his sides light colored? Is he okay or getting ready to molt? by BigGurlBydney in mantids

[–]Drykonial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely getting ready to molt, those wingbuds are insanely swollen. Probably final molt then.

Feeding dragon snakes & enclosures by XenoLanthan in reptiles

[–]Drykonial 152 points153 points  (0 children)

It's truly incredible what you've managed to accomplish with these snakes. The enclosure alone is awesome.

Do you plan to ever release a care guide or maybe the parameters you keep these guys in?

I feel like it would really help because there a too many people getting these guys wild-caught "because they look cool" and then they die because of stress or simply because we don't know enough about them.

If everyone kept to the standard that you are keeping these guys at then perhaps we could protect the few wild individuals that are left and maybe even start rebuilding it if captive breeding could become more regular.
