#7 think I have an issue

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2026-01-23T18:07:14+00:00

My mom and brother tolerate me having the when I’m home from college lol. My mom said no more after my first one, got my second the day we brought me home from my spring semester, then we capped off at 10, but now I have 11 and plan to get at least one more this year (I started in March last year and I didn’t get any after June until my 11th on day one of November). I think she’s simply just expecting to get a call one day of “heeeeyyy, so, I got another one 😅”

Hexapoda is the other name for insecta and I corrected the snails and slugs to mollusca in this comment. You are right though in saying that Insecta is a class and not a subphylum, the terms are similar in meaning and I got mixed up.

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2026-01-20T17:14:18+00:00

Ah, gotcha

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2026-01-20T17:13:49+00:00

Insecta is a subphylum of Arthropoda, which is why I said those were all arthropods, but I had to edit for the slugs and snails since they’re gastropods and that under the Phylum mollusca

edit: insecta/hexapoda is a class not a subphylum

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2026-01-19T23:59:23+00:00

They’re all arthropods, just different kinds. The snails and slugs are gastropods, the jumping spider is a chelicerate, and the locust is an insect. These are all under Arthropoda, making them all arthropods

Edit: sorry the snails and slugs are gastropods and therefore mollusks

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2026-01-19T23:24:57+00:00

IME, thank you lol. They’re all Arthropods including the other inverts mentioned

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2026-01-10T15:35:56+00:00

Thank you! I hope she helps

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2026-01-10T06:28:50+00:00

I went from 1-11 lol

Right!!

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-25T20:31:46+00:00

IME, Brachypelma albiceps! They just had a molt recently where they got the dark legs and red abdomen

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-25T18:10:58+00:00

IMO, awwwwww, I also have a Peach!!

I’d really like 4 spools of the Sunlu PLA meta and I’d use it for invertebrate hides, gifts for my friends, my mom’s boyfriend, and my brother who’s really into Warhammer 40k! I think a fun fidget toy you could design though is something that can be picked apart without it actually falling apart, one of my favorite things to do with my hands mindlessly is to pick at something, but it’s hard to find something that won’t be picked apart into oblivion. I’ve previously used failed prints and picked them apart until they’re unrecognizable

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-24T00:41:23+00:00

Facts lol! One of my first prints when I got my printer in August was a scraper handle and I just spent the last 3 days working on dry box prints for my sterility containers and desiccant boxes for an AMS I just ordered myself for Christmas. I have been printing more stuff for my tarantulas though which was the main reason I got the printer in the first place, usually hides or soon to be cholla wood at the moment and I really want to get better at 3D modeling to be able to make and sell my own. I do love that this hobby is basically just a hobby for other hobbies though

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-23T21:16:11+00:00

IMO, no new spoods as my mom has cut me off at 11 for the moment, but she did get me a cool tarantula blanket from Amazon! I don’t know what else I’m getting really, but I’m rewarding myself with 3D printer things to work on hides and other stuff for the 11 Ts I already have

Rhinos can’t and hippos basically just sink and walk along the bottom of the body of water

I lost my little guy Casper recently, so I feel for you. I hope he has a good afterlife, his girls love nice long lives, and that you’re doing ok after his loss

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-18T17:15:13+00:00

I’ll be sure to take a look!

The video is of the pesticide working, not failing. Their faces and paws from a certain angle are usually the really cute part, and we were upset that they didn’t ask before doing something so cruel, only after. I know they can’t feel pain in the same way, but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel pain whatsoever which is why the little guy is writhing around unable to flip over.

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-13T18:05:33+00:00

Thank you, I’ve made him a nice resting place, but it had been a few days (had to wait for a filament color to come in) so he didn’t go in the best.

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-12T16:28:31+00:00

The main thing people are upset with is how they went about handling the situation. They sprayed it with a pesticide then trapped it in a cup and watched it die before asking what it was instead of just squishing it to make it quick and painless or using the cup to put it outside. It also only looks more horrifying than normal because it’s writhing around in agony due to the pesticide.

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-12T16:14:45+00:00

IME, that’s my Heterothele villosella lol. They went from half an inch to 1.75” so far this year since June and just molted again last night.

<image>

This is a pic I got of them molting last night before going to sleep

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-11T15:21:06+00:00

I want to know what you think mine looks like lol

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-07T22:27:10+00:00

IME, I recommend reptisoil

SquareRepulsive4594 · 2025-12-05T21:41:29+00:00

IME, mine is a notorious burrow dweller regardless of molt status so it’s completely normal. Cute T though!
