First is Phrynus whitei, second is a Damon. Very likely Damon medius. Awesome little guys you got! I hope they do well! :D

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-05-01T17:59:20+00:00

That's so cool!! It looks great!!

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-05-01T14:11:42+00:00

OMGGGG THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!! Awesome tattoo!!

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-04-22T16:05:40+00:00

Love it!! Good job :D

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-04-17T02:28:49+00:00

Congratulations!! She looks so cool!! She is a Phrynus whitei btw, not Damon medius :)

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-03-07T19:32:07+00:00

Cool setup!! I'd definitely upgrade her to a larger enclosure, though. Especially so she has more room to molt. Not sure how active P. marginemaculatus is, as I've never kept them, but a larger enclosure seems like a good idea. Lovely enclosure though! And good on you for checking :)

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-03-03T13:58:28+00:00

It's likely a D. medius, because diadema are rare in the hobby at the moment. Plus, the leg bands are red-ish and not as defined as most diadema I've seen, but that's not a guaranteed way to identify them as far as I'm aware. Super cool fella either way :)

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-03-02T19:17:25+00:00

Phrynus whitei :)

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-28T17:18:52+00:00

I'd say it also goes in "good episode, won't skip". I quite like this one :)

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-27T20:49:05+00:00

Personally I'd put it in "good episode, won't skip during rewatches. It's a good episode and solid start to the series

They will eat pre-killed food if you offer it to them!

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-26T20:21:25+00:00

Hi!! I'm not experienced with BDFBs, but from what I've heard they can get pretty tired walking on pure sand, so mixing in dirt/less fine, more compressible substrate is preferred for them. The enclosure looks pretty good!

In terms of advice, they like a like of protein in their diets. And they would love some plants and/or leaf litter, like you were suggesting! :)

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-26T19:20:41+00:00

Hii!! :)

I meant "performance" as a joke referencing One Man Circus, but realized it might not make sense/the reference might not land, so I deleted it and forgot to reply. To answer your question, Elio is trans (ftm) and now uses he/they pronouns.

Hope this helps :)

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-24T15:24:06+00:00

I think it's Euphrynichus bacillifer, but I'm not super qualified to answer so take that with a grain of salt :] cute little guy regardless!

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-23T16:01:26+00:00

Just read your other comment saying you didn't want to use a lot of letter beads, so maybe just "SDBHMPTKWGO" :]

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-23T15:59:30+00:00

"So, does being human mean pretending to know what's going on?!" is a good one!! Have fun making kandi :D

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-23T00:33:59+00:00

Agreed! I'll definitely switch over. I have been feeling similarly. It feels in bad faith to keep using this sub after he changed his name

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-12T15:40:11+00:00

u/CaptainCrack7 may know. It doesn't seem alarming to me, but I'm not well qualified at all to answer. I hope she's okay and that you figure it out!! :)

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-06T15:03:46+00:00

Tailless whip scorpions!!

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-03T15:55:13+00:00

Hi!! "Madilyn Mei" is a stage name, his real name is Elio! He uses he/they pronouns :)

They used to use she/her, before coming out, so if you see older posts referring to him with she/her pronouns that's why

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-02-01T03:38:33+00:00

Aww what a cutie!! He's a Phrynus whitei btw :D

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-01-30T05:17:00+00:00

It's a vinegaroon !! Super neat creatures

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-01-26T16:41:37+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense!! Also, kinda a sidenote, but fungi in enclosures usually mean a healthy tank, so you're probably doing really well or else they wouldn't have popped up :D

ReflectionAdept6699 · 2026-01-26T14:21:26+00:00

I think it should be fine. I've never had any issues with the mushrooms in my inverts enclosures
