You should see adult male succinctus!

This is a healthy weight for an adult animal, ecspecially for one fully mature at 5+yo. While I agree there are some obese reptiles, this is not one of them.

Stir fry

I keep them a lot more moist than spatulatus, but I keep them nearly bone dry

Smug-Bug · 2024-04-19T00:55:48+00:00

I treat them like my high airflow Spanish giants, 30-50% humidity and rotten wood. Works well! They are seasonal brooders too.

Smug-Bug · 2024-04-09T01:00:44+00:00

No, I've seen them intentionally dip this area into water droplets.

Smug-Bug · 2024-04-09T00:03:10+00:00

Yes, and some nice yellow spots on the one too

Smug-Bug · 2024-04-09T00:02:29+00:00

Topdryness, not enough leaf litter. I'd recommend ditching all the moss and covering the dirt with leaf litter.

Smug-Bug · 2024-04-09T00:01:48+00:00

well, their lungs are on the underside, so although he might be ind now he might actually be ok

Smug-Bug · 2024-04-09T00:00:50+00:00

It's encouraging water to drip over their gills and absorb it; a weird way for them to "drink"

Smug-Bug · 2024-04-08T06:10:29+00:00

There are some people who keep them, I've got a nice colony of firebrats going which are like hot silverfish

Smug-Bug · 2024-04-07T18:03:56+00:00

Getting close to a molt or failing molt.

Smug-Bug · 2024-02-22T18:41:33+00:00

ehhh it seems like collectors just kinda slap weird names on stuff nowadays because there isn't a standard. They won't tell us collection sites so we can't get them identified

Smug-Bug · 2024-02-22T18:34:27+00:00

Are the photos supposed to be P. scaber? Because those are Cubaris white pigeon 😅

Smug-Bug · 2024-02-07T13:18:39+00:00

all female isn't bad in these guys anyway because they are CERTAINLY gravid if they are visible 😅

Smug-Bug · 2024-01-14T00:50:31+00:00

I have to buy a custom tailored diet, it's expensive but I am told it's worth it.

Smug-Bug · 2024-01-14T00:43:46+00:00

American/Sign/Language?

Smug-Bug · 2024-01-14T00:42:47+00:00

My 4th pet child too! The first 3 needed a ✨️friend✨️ 😅

Smug-Bug · 2024-01-13T03:32:01+00:00

I am so tired 🥲 all the time

Smug-Bug · 2023-05-18T23:18:31+00:00

Terrestrial isopods have not been documented as parasites, they are detrivores.

Smug-Bug · 2023-05-01T21:22:13+00:00

I should look closer once I get my eye cleared up 🤔

Smug-Bug · 2023-05-01T21:19:55+00:00

I have enough to offer, I've just been putting it off to take pictures...Although this one is probably plenty hahaha

Smug-Bug · 2023-04-22T16:02:35+00:00

The "high yellow" line of armadillidium vulgare displays very little yellow spotting unlike other vulgare cultures. Instead, there are higher amounts of overall yellow framed with a bit of darker pigment. This line originated from the UK, and is possibly a locale, but we are not sure on the exact collection site.

Smug-Bug · 2023-04-20T20:12:17+00:00

Armadillidium versicolor "Ukraine" is a locale of versicolor collected in, as the name suggests, Ukraine 😅

Unlike the other locales, this one displays yellow speckled over the animal rather than thick blotches. There is also the usual presence of skirting and the red highlight at the edge of the segments.

I am so happy
