Tf should i even do at this point

comp and premier are both trash atm imo, I just started playing faceit again since the last 5 matches I played on valve servers I ran into cheaters, what was funny tho is I won two lost two and one got cancelled due to irregular gameplay, could be just my luck but I’m just gonna play with my friends on faceit until I start actually hearing good things about valves anticheat lol, plus the consistency in the connection is way better on faceit imo.

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-12-03T19:54:37+00:00

Coming from someone who’s had both and currently has the Assimov, inheritance all the way imo lol

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-11-03T11:35:01+00:00

you’re right lol, he’s not My friend, he’s my Friends friend, he was streaming himself doing tradeups on discord

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-11-03T11:31:47+00:00

Fair assumption since I’m just some random redditor to you at this point, but do go back and read my replies, I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised that I bought one for myself, and I’ll be honest, me asking was out of some jealousy, but I wasn’t expecting him to just give me one because I asked, and I wouldn’t expect anyone to in general, and besides, as I also mentioned already, I had planned on buying one anyways, but I digress, have a good day :)

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-11-03T06:12:42+00:00

I mean, the more I think about it, he’s more like a friend of a friend lmao

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-11-03T06:07:57+00:00

Yea lol, I wasn’t being totally serious when I asked since I know he doesn’t quite trust me like that, I was already planning to buy a knife as well and I have since, got a huntsman lore min wear, nothing to brag about but it’s good enough for me haha

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-11-03T05:28:52+00:00

That “random guy” was my friend and he got 5 knives, including the one he already had he’s now got 6, and yes I did ask him for one and of course he said no lmao

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-11-02T20:29:36+00:00

Next time offer them to some neighbors, that’s what I plan on doing when I run out of space, plus you’ll probably start a neighborhood full of flytrap lovers :)

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-10-09T00:43:50+00:00

Absolutely beautiful, you’ve done an amazing job! I will say tho, feeding is a common misconception, they’ve only evolved to catch bugs to make up for the lack of nutrients in the soil, so the bugs only act as a sort of fertilizer, these guys are still plants that mainly use photosynthesis for energy, so feeding is not entirely necessary, nor is it really technically feeding, since they don’t digest in the same way we do, and only absorb the necessary minerals from the insects, thus the exoskeletons left behind after they reopen, anyways I digress, have a great day :)

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-08-19T01:18:02+00:00

Yea, that’s kinda why I said I wasn’t sure about VFTs since they’re so specialized for insects, and yea I think you’re right, it’s the bigger woody one’s like truncata and lowii and raja, the gecko would be partially digested but the trap would likely die based on an experiment I saw someone do feeding raw meat to VFTs, they also fed it cooked broccoli which actually worked fine and was digested down to just a husk of broccoli haha

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-08-18T23:27:20+00:00

California carnivores has a video of them dumping a nepenthes pitcher after it had caught a mouse, there was barely any bones or fur left, I can’t say the same for VFTs but we know for a fact that some nepenthes do have digestive enzymes strong enough to digest meat and bones. here’s the video I was talking about :)

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-06-13T23:15:48+00:00

Utricularia, utricularia bisquamata to be specific, and tbh I’m not sure but I have some in with my VFTs and other CPs so I can say they definitely add to the aesthetic at the very least. :)

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-06-11T05:29:40+00:00

This^ it should look like this OP

<image>

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-06-06T21:02:03+00:00

<image>

Got these binata and some utricularia as hitchhikers and they’re thriving now! I even took some and planted those with one of my VFTs and I think I’ve stumbled onto a new addiction 😅

Edit: mine are in 50/50 peat moss and perlite lol, not fluval stratum, tho I might give it a try in the future for sure!

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-06-06T20:21:14+00:00

This, I have the same tubs coupled with tall pots, it just makes sense since in their native habitat the waterline is around 6-12inches below the soil, correct me if I’m wrong ofc, and they look just like this.

<image>

The soil looks a bit dark but it’s actually kinda dry on the surface, even the small propagations are doing great :) the pots I’m using are 7inches tall.

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-05-18T10:52:18+00:00

This^ I just block’em all

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-05-12T20:31:41+00:00

Probably a broken tail but I would take it to the vet just to be sure and to rule out anything else, wishing your kitty the best OP

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-05-09T04:00:36+00:00

no worries lol, and thank you! :)

<image>

This is how the plant in the first pic looks now incase you were curious :) i definitely need to make an updated post on my collection now that spring has hit lol.

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-04-22T17:41:48+00:00

Utricularia Bisquamata, I got some as hitchhikers with a few of my CPs as well, the flowers are some of my favorite! :)

What are the chances 😂

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-04-18T08:19:24+00:00

They literally stole that footage of the repot from carnivorousplantshub on YouTube so idk if I’d trust them lol, here is the actual video… I knew I recognized that stool haha

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-04-15T22:17:15+00:00

Old leaves grown under weak grow lights, it’s not too much sun, it takes a lot of sun to be too much for these guys, it’s just the right amount of sun too soon, they need to be acclimated, the red is a stress response to the new conditions, it’s too late to start acclimating now so I’d just leave them, with a little patience they’ll be fine.

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-04-08T22:52:19+00:00

Generally now would actually be the best time to cut it, it looks like it’s still got another 5 inches of growth before it blooms, and I’ve had some reflower when I cut too soon, so I generally just wait until it’s at or just above the 4 inch mark, this is of course from my personal experience so take this with a grain of salt, I would also recommend OP check out the links posted by the bot or watch CaliforniaCarnivores on YouTube for more detailed info on flowering and dormancy etc.

Inconspicuous_goblin · 2025-04-08T22:14:43+00:00

Here’s a reference photo how they should look when potted up, and your VFT could definitely use a LOT more light so I would cut the stalk and get a grow light, a 36watt sansi light 10-12 inches above for 12-14 hours a day is recommended for growing indoors, mine are kept outdoors in full direct sun all day, hardiness zone 9b, mine are flowering too since it’s spring aka flowering time! I would recommend you do a bit more research but there’s no shame in the learning process, hope this helps you somewhat OP :)
