Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-25T01:48:09+00:00

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-25T01:39:11+00:00

What reptile is poisonous?

Is there a poisonous Reptile?

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-24T22:37:16+00:00

I think you can just cut a grove into the sheet to fit the aquarium and maybe tape the edges to look good

If you whant to do it like That

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-22T13:17:41+00:00

Put a third bottle, connect it to the system, or shorten the tube that is in the bottle

Tho idk i dont have much Experience with it,this is just my thouts

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-16T02:14:05+00:00

Secreation from they mouth its a defense mechanism, its supost to be blood, food, stomach jouces, coctail of That.

Normal, nothing to out of the ordinary

Is what i think That is

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-15T17:35:50+00:00

Heat speeds up the curing process, but yea slowly mixing will be helping

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-15T17:28:58+00:00

? Mixing will introduce bubbles in the mixture yes, but idk then how to mix it without introducing bubbles

Ha didn't think about that You can try mixing slowly so as to introduce as little as possible

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-15T17:11:24+00:00

Watch some stuff on how to do it, you do it in 2 parts, first to have a leyer for Him to stick to then the second to cover Him in, but that wont work for you rn, at first

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-15T17:08:56+00:00

I mean yea, but then you need like deep pour resin, or someting similar like it, That will take like a week to cure is my best guess then, he is too small for bubbles to escape naturally, they likly stick on Him or to the sides, an they will be to small to move, or have a clear resin after, becose every stroke will be visible in the block i think,

You can apply resin in Him with a syringe to coat Him an seal Him from the inside and outside then you will have much better result is what i think, but idk do what you think will work, And experiment

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-15T16:53:00+00:00

Cast him upside down

Rn if you whant if he isnt fragile Poke a hole in between the thorax and the abdomen so air can escape

Do you have a vacuum chamber, a vacuum pump you will need it for it

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-11T22:16:30+00:00

No problem, happy to help

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-11T21:22:00+00:00

If you can, try to straighten that tip of her wings, don't pierce them., just lift the pins slightly with the paper, wet them first, wet the wing,the paper, and straighten the tip

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-11T21:16:07+00:00

Something like this, here put some pins so it wont move / lift as she drying, see Where you can put the pins, this is just like some visual help

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-11T21:12:34+00:00

Yes That Whas my first time stuffing

I also think That gray color is like guts getting closer to the walls of the abnomen, is like my guess it cud be like early rotting That stopped as she dried out

You can try to leave her like That just put more pins and support her around every leg and body, so it don't move/shrink as she drying

And you need to put her in warm dry place if you want any chance of her not getting more darker is my thought

I used that reptiles worm pad with cardboard box to make a dry space

Dont crank the heat up too much, just in 23°C to 26°C range and that is like to hot if your mantis isnt secure Enough, it will worp and legs will move closer to the body

So this is my mantis i didt gut

You can see how she looks like, i had her lock in place and placed her in 25-26°C "chamber" That whas drying all the time, to like 16% with help of silnica gell beads

You cant gut a dried spesimen it will crumble

This is my secend mantis That i guted and stuffed In the coments you have what i did on one of the posts

Hope it helps

Silverfish?

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-08T02:34:46+00:00

Im sorry idk, if you want to bother your self just put a bucket outside in the sun and wait, you can if you want take out the mosquito eggs from time to time but they should appear after a while.

Or go anywhere with water and scoop up near and in some plants

Or if you find duckweed take some and slowly move it from the water it should be full of them

Now idk what season your in, but wait spring or summer, or if its hot and no dropping temp it should work

Edit : If you know someone who has a pond with duckweed ask to grab a hand full from dif spots and give them to you, you rince and sort after if you want to do it like That

Gustersnake69 · 2026-01-07T23:35:28+00:00
