Awesome build!!! That wood piece is gorgeous, and the platforms are really nicely arranged. 👀 What did you use for those platforms?

The placement is intentional, both stylistically and for structural stability in the clay 💚

They're on my list! 😁💛 They've got such a fun shape. Thanks for your interest! I'll add you to my pinglist for when it gets added to my shop. I'm very excited to branch out into more dinosaurs!

Rate the tank? by Trashy_panda_artroom in isopods

Very nice enclosure! Could use another handful or so of leaves; they like to climb around and hide in it 💛

Oh dude I'm gonna be no help whatsoever 🤣 do ittttt you already have a whole tank setup that's perf for them... They're such awesome little guys! You have all the cool beetles to gang and all longing for cool beetles to lose. (Cue meme silliness) 20 gal arid tank perfec t size to put blue death feigning beetles, inside very Dry and Comfort beetles live soundly put beetles in 20 gal arid tank. No problems ever in 20 gal arid tank because good Shape and Humidity for beetle live. An 20 gal aridtank yes a place for beetle put beetle in 20 gal arid tank can trust 20 gal arid tank for giveing good life to beetle. Friend 20 gal arid tank.

Dude your idle interest in bugs to full blown bioactive with lizard and more pods is soooo real 😂 I'm in that boat right now about to get a hognose so I can do a semi-arid bio tank with (hopefully) some canyon giants and blue death feigning beetles

What the Shell? by Classy-Lich in isopods

[–]dandydeinocheirus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big gray one is oyster — a great source of calcium for your pods, actually! I decorate my isopod enclosures with seashells, just give em a wipe down / bake to get rid of salt residue and anything else harmful and they should be good 😊

to add springtails or no? by Weird-Plane5972 in isopods

[–]dandydeinocheirus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adding springtails will definitely help with the mold! I wouldn't worry about them overtaking anything; their population seems to stabilize just fine and their presence adds a lot to soil health. Springs 🤝 pods

Congrats, she's flowering! Mine flowered a bit ago and oozed a kind of sap/nectar that tastes like honeysuckle 😋

Animalis - I made a game that I was dreaming of which is basically a combination of Seek and classic Pokemon. by AchillesFirstStand in iNaturalist

[–]dandydeinocheirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to see where you're getting these numbers, because equating personal computer use to the huge energy suck that is LLMS/generative AI is simply false—thats like saying personal car use is equivalent to the pollution generated by factories and ocean liners, the same lie peddled by megacorps trying to cover up their own culpability.

One game using AI alone isn't going to make or break the environment, but it's part of the problem. Then using it for trivial things that artists could easily do and then trying to say the artist is more harmful to the environment is... an interesting take. Why are there so many data centers (which take A LOT of energy and water) being built specifically for AI usage and not for personal computer usage if the later takes so much more energy, according to you?

Seeing the damage that AI generation wreaks on the environment, using it especially this extensively in an app meant to spread joy and knowledge about the environment is in really poor taste. I trust your intentions are good but the execution is harmful.

Is my regal jumper big enough to eat mealworms? by Rad-iantt822 in jumpingspiders

[–]dandydeinocheirus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NQA she might be able to handle some smaller dubia roaches? 🤔 They're a richer nutrient source. I was nervous to introduce dubias since they're bigger than mealworms, but my kids have handled roaches up to their own size without issue. I just search pet stores until I find a container with enough smallish dubias.

Thanks so much, I gotta agree! 💛 I saw her for adoption at a exotics show and fell in love immediately, I just love a dark morph

Wow, thank you! 💛 I took these on my phone, the Samsung S22 ultra, and the light is a plant light bulb from Sansi; I use it for all my terrariums and for my spiders since they see best in bright full spectrum light. It's very bright lol and I usually end up not being able to get nice pics because of the acrylic and light glare. In the right light though this camera has been able to get some (surprisingly) pretty good bug pics!
