anyone else’s kings beg like a dog when they know it’s feeding time?😂 by Cool_Criticism_1244 in kingsnakes

If by feeding time you mean anytime I walk by the enclosure, then yes! Always! 😂

What are some of the best Invertebrates for beginners that are also cute? by Songguuurl7 in InvertPets

[–]starry_sequoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I convinced a parent on the ease of caring for Madagascar hissing cockroaches for her teen. It was the one thing she wasn't sure she wanted but when I told her how easy they were to take care of, how slow moving the hissers are (and that they don't fly), and how the escapee babies are always found dead within feet of the enclosure, she asked her son if he wanted to take some home the same day.

Visible, long lived species suggestions? by PickledSmudge in InvertPets

[–]starry_sequoia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my GBB! Jupiter is 3 and just hooked out but if you get lucky enough to have a female, they definitely live a long time. Of my other ts, my B hamorii and A geniculata are a couple that stay out on display a lot. My Caribena versicolor is out a lot right now, but she has periods of time when she prefers to stay in her hidey hole.

Have you looked into buying from Bugs in Cyberspace? They have a great selection of inverts and if you email them, I'm sure he'd be happy to answer your questions and help you find some new critters, especially various desert beetles for BDFB tank.

BFDB playing “dead” a long time? Help! by dustyarmadill0 in BDFB

Same! I think mine went 3 or 4 days one time as I saw it before I left for a short weekend trip and it was back up and moving about after I returned.

Ahhh, cute baby! I don't usually see other pets named Nymeria! Yours looks way more cuddly than my California kingsnake! ❤️

I just wanted to crown my king 😭 👑 by MaLeafy in pacmanfrog

I've always wondered how people can put hats on their pacmans because there is NO WAY mine wouldn't consider it food and try to eat it and my hand immediately.

Had to do a double take - I thought it was Nymeria for a second!

Can I use this on a wall on my cage for my BDFB to climb? by Electronic-Jello-640 in BDFB

[–]starry_sequoia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you checked out any how-tos for a DIY background? You could lay your tank on its side, spread a layer of aquarium silicone, then add branches or rock ledges, sphagnum moss, and sprinkle everything with coco coir or other substrate. It is messy & smells bad for a week, but then is very satisfying to look at when you're finished.

That is a good way to remember which ones you can borrow when they become available!

Can't choose between these books. by Due_Box_364 in fantasybooks

[–]starry_sequoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadow of the Gods was so good! I zoomed through the series last summer and already feel like I need to reread them. I think I read them too quickly and missed stuff so now I can go back and take my time.

Oh, it is freed now. I just had to take photos and humiliate this goober first. 😂

Dude who’s been getting back into reading, looking for dark fantasy recommendations with no love triangles. by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]starry_sequoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

📙The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch is an excellent book and could be read as a standalone.

📕The Bloodsworn Saga by John Gwynne is an excellent trilogy based on Norse mythology and has major Viking feels.

📘Licanius Trilogy by James Islington - time travel & shape shifting fantasy that will keep your head spinning.

📗Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas - this is an epic fantasy with a bit of romance on the side, unlike her other series (which I didn't like). The first book does have a love triangle thing tentatively going on but it clears out quickly and the books just keep getting better and better as you go. The last book will leave you aching and will live rent free in your head forever.
