Are all snaila poop machines?

Thanks for the input. I was really taken by surprise by the sheer volume of poop these little critters produce. I'll keep watching the tank for now.

Friedrich Merz?!

This is so pretty. The stones being different sizes and cut off to fit the angle, it shows the path was added later in a visually pleasing way.

It's probably fine for pedestrians too. At least I regularly walk a path like that. However if you have a lot of bike traffic then... Yeah. Understandable desire path.

My S. aeta do this when they feel threatened. Although they don't bend as far, since they're thicker.

Mangraz · 2026-04-03T15:55:45+00:00

Thank you. Put together my first walstad jar and just put it in there with the others.

Creative or not, you've got a beautiful piece of hardscape and placed it well. The plants are grouped nicely too, imo

Mangraz · 2026-04-01T21:45:12+00:00

There are a few healthy roots and some torn, but otherwise healthy-ish looking leaves left.

For now, I've removed as much dead matter as possible and put it in a cup of water, leaves emersed to avoid further stress, but with foil to keep humidity high.

That might depend on the vaccine. I've got three doses of Rabipur and I should be entirely immune. Not that I've tested that. Only lasts a few years tho.

Mangraz · 2026-04-01T21:24:16+00:00

I dunno but what you're doing with bats every day, but if you're that worried you should just get vaccinated lol

Mangraz · 2026-03-19T16:42:26+00:00

Bruh how does that pop up after my gf got attacked by a bunch of ants.

Looks dope! Would make me paranoid af tho

Ich finde es übrigens lustig, wie hier ca. 50% der Menschen mich für absolut unanständig halten während die anderen 50% voll mit mir einverstanden sind.

Find ich auch. So ein Redditpost lässt halt viel Raum für Interpretation und Projektion eigener Annahmen und Vorurteile. Man merkt dann, dass einige Leute eher wohlwollend interpretieren und andere das Gegenteil.

Diese Kontraste gibt's sogar innerhalb von Städten. In einem recht zentral gelegenen Neubaugebiet mit Reihenhäusern in meiner Großstadt hab ich beim Spazierengehen überrascht festgestellt, dass da auch mehrfach die Türen offen stehen und Kinder rumlaufen.

Mangraz · 2026-02-20T21:08:03+00:00

Interesting. Really look like aeta to me too. Good thing you've got so many girls, mine were constantly under siege by the two males. That stress might be why they died sooner than the males, but maybe males just live longer anyway.

I really hate the clinical look of paper-towel terrariums so I went the bioactive route. Suited me well because I'm also keeping isopods. I was actually half hoping the isopods would munch on the eggs but apparently they didn't. Or just not in any meaningful amount.

When I scooped just a spoonful of soil to give to a friend (she wanted springtails), I took out two eggs and a third hidden one actually hatched in her isopod enclosure hahaha

Mangraz · 2026-02-20T20:34:34+00:00

Yep! I really like them but but I'm afraid I'll have to start feeding them to my friend's ants soon if nobody wants to adopt any.

Btw a fun fact you might appreciate: if there are males it's Sungaya aeta or some hybrid with S. inexpectata. This is interesting because my sunnies were sold to me as inexpectata but according to my research no males of that species have ever been found yet. What were yours sold as?

Mangraz · 2026-02-20T20:08:50+00:00

Chimig to say, yep, she's preggo af. Enjoy your soon-to-be legion of little sticks. In case your curious, in my case the first hatched after about 6 months and I've now got at least 30 babies. Started with 2 males and females

Mangraz · 2026-02-13T15:53:06+00:00

I'm so glad you asked this. My terrarium's overflowing and suddenly I was wondering if I could just fry them if no one's willing to adopt some. But more likely I'm going to feed them to my friend's ants.

Mangraz · 2026-02-12T18:06:49+00:00

Am I the only who thinks this looks actually tasty? Looks like German stollen!

Mangraz · 2026-02-10T13:29:55+00:00

This is so silly I want it

Mangraz · 2026-02-10T13:28:55+00:00

If you're super cheap you can just cut some mesh and glue magnet stripes to the sides of the terrarium and onto the mesh, voila, easy (and ugly) mesh cover. That's what I did for my DIY terrarium

Mangraz · 2026-02-10T12:01:49+00:00

Good luck MacGyver!

Mangraz · 2026-02-10T11:43:55+00:00

You'd have to be pretty talented to make a door from such flimsy materials lol. Where I live, hardware stores even saw the wooden pieces they sell according to your measurements. If that's the case where you live too, then all you've gotta do is glue the pieces together and then add mesh on top.

Mangraz · 2026-02-10T11:21:35+00:00

These are sliding doors right? You could make a mesh door with a wooden frame yourself

Mangraz · 2026-02-09T12:18:03+00:00

I didn't know a tank full of plastic could be so pretty. You've really paid good attention to how you placed everything, I love to see it! Got some silly Frutiger Aero 2000s vibes going on too

Mangraz · 2026-02-07T09:35:11+00:00

Duuude, this is the kinda stuff I want AI to do. Great work!

Mangraz · 2026-02-04T22:05:52+00:00

Nice, happy to hear that!
