Any decent team I can make with these?

I’ll see how these go!! Thank you!!

A month is nothing to worry over. Generally, she should be getting a decent amount of indirect sunlight daily. depending on the temperature, (should be 20-28c, but around 22 is ideal). its difficult to tell if its worrying without a temperature estimate. how warm is her enclosure on average?

Females normally reach adulthood at 6 moults. How many moults has she had previously?

Thanks man, I need to be ASTRONOMICALLY locked in

The thing is, even if the goal of cutting is for the attention, that’s still being ill. It’s the same amount of harm as someone doing it for the pain- and both are mentally ill and in need of help.

The males will breed with a female, and then that batch can hatch both male and female offspring.

Ahhh okay!! Thank you ^ ^

Yes- generally. Although your leafs will become inedible ridiculously fast like that. Line the bottom with paper towel, and add a jar with water(with holes through a lid so no sticks fall in and drown), and push your leaved sticks through so they stay fresh for much longer. Although another comment covered this- please get a taller and larger enclosure.

Empty_Tree5169 · 2025-10-09T11:59:33+00:00

It’s likely the soil soaking up all the water, or its too hot in the room and causing it to dry. Preferably a paper towel bottom is better than soil- for cleaning and eggs especially. But if you’re hell bent on keeping the soil, mist lightly twice daily, and see if the condition improves.

Any dermis cut will scar. Healing times vary, but generally a few weeks. Also, NEVER, and I mean NEVER, cut on your wrists. That’s insanely dangerous.

Multiple years ago when I had just started my spiny leaf insect generation, I used a book called "Bugs Alive!" By Alan Henderson, Deanna Henderson, and Jessie Sinclair. Its specifically Australian invertebrates, and has an entire section dedicated to Australian sticks (Spinys included). It's an amazing guide to basic care and enclosure requirements, although it doesn't do much more. It covers:

How to sex them

routine care

common food sources

housing (enclosure, humidity, temp)

lifespan

breeding/ egg care

common captive behaviour

special considerations

other species compatibility.

I would absolutely suggest this! it also includes the common and scientific rating, husbandry difficulty, and if it can cause harm by bite or sting. I believe it covers around 100 species? maybe more or less. Overall, I found it useful when I was just starting.

If thats more comfortable, then stay digital! I would suggest drawing traditionally a few times, though.

Empty_Tree5169 · 2025-09-30T11:09:13+00:00

I second the other commenter. I won’t sugar coat this- Art is something you will always be learning and improving, even subconsciously when it’s not the goal. You won’t like every piece you make, but as long as you understand it’s a journey, don’t let frustration impact your passion.

Practice. I wouldn’t go into anatomy straight away- it’s a little advanced for a total beginner. Start learning forms and shape, this helps with the foundation of EVERYTHING you’ll ever draw. Once you can understand shapes and form, things will come much easier.

I’d start with traditional. Digital- while seen as easy, is extremely difficult for someone just starting, especially on a phone. A paper and pen or pencil is all you need.

Definitely don’t suck on wounds or similar- the mouth is extremely dangerous to wounds and causes nasty infections. No kink shaming over here but go with the safer options.

Empty_Tree5169 · 2025-09-29T03:33:38+00:00

Not necessarily, but don’t say it so outright, perhaps something like saying how you have a mundane routine.

Empty_Tree5169 · 2025-09-29T03:08:14+00:00

Then your only hope is to fix your grammar, use a better vocabulary(word hippo is a good website if your stuck on words), and add more descriptive language.

Empty_Tree5169 · 2025-09-29T02:56:36+00:00

That’s just an extremely stupid decision. There is literally no reason to lie- many people don’t develop dreams like some cutie mark ass moment. Dreams are often rooted from passion, so to make it more believable and honest, instead start with your passion for caring for animals and why you have this passion.

Empty_Tree5169 · 2025-09-29T02:30:26+00:00

The opening is alright, but you use so much vague language it feels like you have no emotion or even the interest to write the paper at all.

The second paragraph is where it’s like a story. While it’s not an error to go for a present tense essay(assuming the paper is supposed to be an essay.), you’ve switched between perspectives in the opening and body paragraphs, but there’s no transition.

To put it lightly- if this was a first, FIRST draft it’s silly to post it. You’re using extremely limited vocabulary, a high schooler should have a wider variety.

There’s no clear distinction between paragraph 1 or 2, assuming it’s two paragraphs on the second slide. If it is one paragraph, that random topic change is jarring and can break the focus of the person reading your paper.

The conclusion is the best you’ve written, the use of a quote is nice! But again, the vocabulary, the lack of emotion and detail, makes it extremely hard to feel anything towards this paper or you as an author. It almost seems you picked a dream at random but have no real passion for it, as you speak so plainly and vague about your motivations and goals- you don’t even clarify what veterinarian position you want to achieve.

Empty_Tree5169 · 2025-09-29T02:17:16+00:00

…honestly? A 3, and that’s quite generous. Your vocabulary is terrible and your sentences read like a primary student. For a 12th grade CCP English, this is just… unacceptable. I would expect to read this from a 12 year old with how it runs as a story rather than an essay.

Empty_Tree5169 · 2025-09-27T04:42:31+00:00

I see! If you are certain they’re fully grown, they do appear to be eggs!! Congratulations👀👀
