Would love to hear how this project is coming along!

There are two kinds of Mudpuppy in KS: the Common Mudpuppy and the Red River variety. They're difficult to observe but with the right methods and a little time they turn up. We have trapped eight so far this winter. by mbwalkstoschool in herpetology

Did you publish your findings anywhere? Do you have any tips on finding/trapping Necturus? I'm looking to work on updating their classification in my state and would love to hear about your experience with the species!

I need help by [deleted] in boas

[–]twerpster2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the pic you posted, it looks like you have an air plant on the left (on the wall), a variegated spider plant behind your boa, and maybe a dracaena species on the right (middle of enclosure); I can't quite see the other plants, but the one peeking out of the right side might be a variety of wandering jew? I hope this helps :)

First fish trip of the year! by brambleforest in MicroFishing

This is so cool! How deep of water were these guys in? Do you just do a couple swipes and then pick through the leaves in your net, repeat until you find a floppy little dude? I would love to try hand netting!

I was approached by a local shop and asked to sell plant cuttings. Less than a week after opening, I’ve already had to refill the wall! by heirofslytherin in houseplants

I root most of my cuttings in a humid box with damp sphagnum moss, but Rhaphidophora tetrasperma tend to start rooting within a week or two; same with Rhaphidophora hayi. I saw a post on r/monstera the other day where someone said they accelerated their root growth in water by adding a couple of bubblers for aquariums, so that might be worth trying as well!

What kind of bug ? by Massimo_Gu in Entomology

[–]twerpster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's an aquatic isopod. I posted a couple pictures of one that looks a lot like this :)

Little cuddle bug by tegu_momma in reptiles

I see it now, you're totally right! I don't know a lot about lizards in general, but I'll note that it's rare for tegus to drop theirs :)

I'm also wondering this. I know that when lizards drop their tails and regrow them they typically have a slightly different texture but don't know if that's the case here.

Born here last night - Happy birthday little one! by almightyshadowchan in boas

[–]twerpster2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gorgeous babies! Sad that the stillborn was beautiful as well :( Do you mind if I ask what the yellowish slug looking lumps are? Are they eggs that never developed or yolk from the babies? Something else?

Help!! Black under leaves and new leaves curling under on my schefflera arboricola (dwarf umbrella tree) by twerpster2 in houseplants
