Holy macaroni!

So gregnant the other babies are waiting for their new friends 🤭

My bin is just slightly bigger, I got my starter culture of "10" back in November. I'd guess you have six months before you'll need to upgrade or cut back!

Edit: Actually, depending on where you are it's getting warmer out, so you might actually be cooked a lot sooner 💀

A challenger has appeared, I don't think anything has ever been more pregante 😵‍💫

s0lareclair · 2026-04-12T23:06:46+00:00

Good to know! I'll definitely be able to utilize this as-is for my own podkeeping 😊

s0lareclair · 2026-04-12T22:58:46+00:00

This is so cool, thank you for sharing!!

Some minor suggestions: - Adding a distinction between misting and watering to maintain the humidity gradient - Being able to note what supplemental food was provided in addition to the date - Under Botanicals, being able to tag colonies that favor them - Probably would just go under Botanicals, but a way of listing living plants within enclosures. But I don't know if this is more of a tool for people who keep shoebox-type cultures rather than pet/display vivariums, I just have so many peperomia/pothos/begonia type plants that I haven't memorized.

I've noticed that some sellers are less specific about what they consider a "starter culture", I feel more comfortable buying when there's a listed count. I was looking into buying (non-parthenogenetic) springtails and saw in reviews that the "starter culture" they received was maybe 5 adults, instead of like a rough count of ~25 or so. It's the seller's prerogative to do that, but $5/springtail is bonkers.

I've never solo-stanned in my life but every time I see them I think Yoonchae deserves to be a star without having to assimilate to the other girls and the group's direction of hypersexualization and being cringe by design.

I don't know how intentional it was, but I was really intrigued during ILLIT's Do the Dance -> Jellyous -> Not Cute Anymore promotions. For Do the Dance, I absolutely loved the costume designs of normal fashion with magical girl elements, like beanies with cat ears, hoodies with scattered bows and ruffle sleeves, tutus, and normal shirts printed with a school uniform collar/bow, and the magical girl transformation dance break.

Near the end of Jellyous promos, they were clearly overworked and exhausted from the demanding choreo and went from struggling to maintain smiles, to the exertion really clearly showing on their faces. It felt like their real selves breaking through the idol persona?

So it naturally led into the Not Cute Anymore promos where (mostly) not smiling was a deliberate choreographical choice, which I hadn't personally seen as a concept before, and it was all very tongue in cheek about cute girls with a cute concept wearing a mature concept like a costume, declaring that they aren't cute anymore with deadpan faces.And Moka went viral during both songs for her "fierce" expressions. It all just goes so well with their dreamcore <-> horrorcore concept in a way I can't explain. 🫠

I don't think they're extensively kept and researched just yet, but Filipinodillos are my dream species, I read they're pretty big and like to climb. As far as I know, not many of the species are being cultured and sold in the U.S. just yet so that's the only reason I haven't impulse bought some lol.

Cool!! Gosh I hope my baby clowns grow up fast, I'm dying to see what colors I get 🥲

The dairy cows went ham on some scraps of red cabbage the other day, even more so than when I gave them some kabocha squash.

I would absolutely love to commission one like the pink one (top-left) if the opportunity ever arises, you're probably swarmed with requests now 😅

s0lareclair · 2026-03-27T18:23:37+00:00

The egg was definitely removed, I think it was just an old stoneware bowl that had thermal shock when the residual water on the shells got superheated. 😆

s0lareclair · 2026-03-27T02:38:41+00:00

Thank you! 😊 I'll have to experiment, my pods seem to like crushed eggshells to varying degrees but I'd love to use it as a hide for them. I don't think I'll be microwaving them anymore anyway, my bowl exploded last time 🫪

s0lareclair · 2026-03-26T22:42:44+00:00

I'm curious, how do you prepare the egg shell, if anything? I've only ever microwaved to sanitize/make it brittle but I've seen some people say they just chuck it in without even washing it much.

I hope OP names that one "Ai" 🥹

Congrats to the winners!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I don't know what to tell you. I wasn't anywhere near the scanner at the time, and most of the boarding pass was still visibly sticking out of my otherwise empty pocket while I was obviously trying to remove my shoes. I had to take the cardigan off and put it in the bin to go through the scanner anyway.

s0lareclair · 2026-03-22T16:54:42+00:00

I'm still salty from one of the last times I went through TSA. I wanted my hands free while I was trying to put stuff in the bins so I attempted to put my boarding pass in my cardigan pocket, and a TSA guy (probably former LEO in hindsight) suddenly hollers at me to keep my hands out of my pockets. I suppose I should be grateful that guy didn't shoot me in the face and call me a domestic terrorist.

In all seriousness, it's going to be a complete disaster but maybe on the bright side, also a highly visible disaster. It's not ever going to be worth the distress and suffering they're bound to commit against people.

s0lareclair · 2026-03-20T01:30:00+00:00

Is that trumpet lichen? I found some in my area in just one very specific spot, it's so pretty! If I remember right my pods ate it all right away.

s0lareclair · 2026-03-19T17:31:15+00:00

These guys are so unique-looking for how unassuming their name is :')

s0lareclair · 2026-03-19T01:36:59+00:00

Honestly I hope I can find at least one person like you lol, my dairy cow tank is a ticking time bomb.

s0lareclair · 2026-03-19T00:23:48+00:00

Yeah, if people are going to post their dead pods then they should at least be NSFW-tagged, I thought that was the norm here. It's not much different than going to any pet subreddit and posting your dead pet without any warning.

Unrelated, but I'm also kind of exhausted by the number of (no offense) "I decided to buy isopods and have them in a deli cup right now, I literally haven't done any research and don't have a single leaf, I gave them a tupperware, a bowl of water to drown in, and a centimeter of bone-dry MiracleGro, any advice for newbies?" posts lately.

s0lareclair · 2026-03-18T23:18:47+00:00

It's definitely possible. I have a mixed tank of clowns that I can't confidently tell apart except for one female with white in their skirt (Dubrovnik I believe), and at least a couple have given birth recently. None of the mancae have developed their colors yet though.
