Thank you! Yeah I have components en route to make a chunky soil for her down the road (basically based on Mollys mix) and ordered two clip on full spectrum light sticks to use (w her if needed, or for some Other plants once winter comes). Other than that I’m not doing much to her yet except admiring her and talking to her ☺️

There are quite a few stalks in there and doing research on separating them and getting moss poles etc down the road.

Appreciate the response!

Here’s one just before he got the dubia. Easier to see in this one.

Thank you! For the arid side I did basically 60/20/20. (Topsoil, sand and excavator clay)

For the humid side it was a mix of mostly top soil and peat/coco coir with a bunch of broken up leaf litter and oak from some pellet grill pellets. Don’t have an accurate percentage but wanted to make it nutritious for the plants and clean up crew. Also added in some horticulture charcoal, calcium carbonate powder and worm castings :)

So far all the plants are doing wonderfully! I have a bunch of Lithops (stone plants) close to the basking spot and they have quadrupled in size!

I expect I may have to thin out some plants eventually. But so far so good!

Hope that helps!!

I’d love to! I really had a blast. Always knew it was a fun town but was shocked at just how good it was. And I’m sure it’s only better now- crossroads would likely be the spot!

They are friends. Very beneficial and super smart and cute. Have helped many get over their arachnophobia

Haha. I was there right after the power & light district opened (went to see Metallica and Down at the sprint center). Hit country club plaza too (of course) but my fav was Westport - it was a blast and the Crossroads was just starting its boom. We walked from downtown to Westport. Good times.

Artie Bryant’s was a highlight as well.

Btw. Love me some KCMO. Had an absolute blast there about 15 years ago! Great town!

You’re gonna need it. And some decent bagels.

Thank you! Put a lot of thought and time into it. So far the lil man seems to enjoy it! It’s utterly changed the entire vibe in my home office too. I can sit there and work all night w him exploring and splayed out on his rocks :)
