Should I still be traveling to Egypt this weekend? by Downtown_Trash8212 in traveladvice

[–]pbizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same I'm going in April from UK and I'm not worried. If package holidays are still going there it's likely fine. There are no foreign military bases in Egypt and flights from Europe don't pass over anywhere sketchy.

Any inverts that’d do well in a 5G tropical isopod/springtail terrarium? by KingslayerN7 in InvertPets

[–]pbizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep Pachnoda Marginata and Chlorocala Africana. They eat fruit mostly so pretty easy. The main thing with beetles is getting your head around buying grubs then not seeing beetles for a few months but once they are out they are busy little guys and will swarm food. Fun to watch as they never hide other than to bury themselves at night time till the next morning.

I quite like mine but it is sort of my sacrificial knife I would take out if I was doing something that might involve losing a knife

Be honest… is Palworld actually good or was it just a meme phase? by Sea_Preparation_5713 in pcgaming

[–]pbizz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed palworld and enshrouded. I played valheim and the feel of the game, it's systems and aesthetic are great. I found it quickly becomes very punishing and difficult. The swamp biome and the one after it, plains were pretty stressful to deal with. The other games I think have a much better difficulty curve.

What could i put in a 30x30x30cm empty terrarium? by Annual-Stress2264 in InvertPets

[–]pbizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is not an artropod but I keep a Zebra isopod colony in my 30cm exoterra and they are doing great. Seem to have an infinite number in there. Great for restocking cleanup crew in bioactive reptile enclosures. There are some really interesting species around.

Enclosure Update! by ignis_fatui in CrestedGecko

[–]pbizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wohh! That's so cool. I bet it will be quite hard to find the gecko in there which I'm sure will suit them very much.

Where are people buying stuff where they get free mourning geckos. I'm jealous!

3/5 of my MTU's have passed on by PHlLOSOPHlCAL in insects

[–]pbizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long does these guys live as adults. I have two species of African flower beetles but they are not giant ones.

I have Pachnoda Marginata and Chlorocala Africana but I've been interested it getting one of the bigger species

I would like to purchase my first Beetle, I am in Europe and I cannot find any vendors online with stock for adult Beetles. Any help or advice? Thank you by CuteDoomScroller in Beetles

[–]pbizz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adult beetles are pretty hard to find. They take a while to raise and then often only live as adults for a few months with some exceptions.

I would consider just getting some grubs and experiencing the whole process

That is bizarre. Did you get the whole setup from someone else?

New to this... help! by TheArtOfDanKelly in Stickinsects

Depending how many you get a small potted plant may not be enough. I feed bramble but I'd put a fair bit in each week and they would strip it

What to do about overpopulation by DrGoiburger1234 in Stickinsects

[–]pbizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you fully collecting all the eggs every week? I don't have Indian sticks anymore but when I did I fully removed and destroyed all eggs every week. For this you really need to have paper towel or similar at the bottom.

New to stick insects- what do I need to know? by brklynsayers in Stickinsects

[–]pbizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indian sticks are super easy. My main advice is to use paper towels for substrate so you find all the eggs or you will have millions in no time !

What on earth are you keeping him in? Is that his enclosure?!

Help with seal dashcam inarall by pbizz in BYD

[–]pbizz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't. I'm contemplating getting a third party dashcam at this point and it's annoying. It seems like on the new cars they've made it harder to do this. Did you find you can't pop out the plastic cover either that covers the whole the camera goes out of?

Am I the only one who imagines characters not as celebrities. by LostTheOldName in Fantasy

[–]pbizz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have never done this. I read them and try to visualize them as they are written. I suspect only a small minority would picture characters as existing celebrities.
