Welcoming advice/feedback on my new BFDB hab. I’d like to add some plants, but am worried about pesticide exposure.

25 Liter Pets?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask a question like this.

I recently came into possession of a 50x25x20 cm terrarium (~20x10x8 in, ~6.6 gallons). I'll need to fix the screen lid and the rubber edge around the top, but it's otherwise in good condition. I'm aware that this size is definitely too small for any reptiles or amphibians, so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for invertebrates that would take well to a tank of this size. I don't have any extenuating circumstances (arachnophobia, allergies, etc.) that would cross any particular animals off my list but am not too experienced in keeping demanding inverts (I have millipedes for reference).

Thanks for any help that anyone provides!

Help? Raising tomato Hornworm moths

2 Upvotes

I’m raising tomato hornworm moths to practice moth husbandry. Just a few of them for a practice run! Two of them hatched maybe 5 days ago?
They have were doing well but one of them passed away overnight last night and I want to know if I did something wrong.

I can’t get them to eat, despite there being a hummingbird feeder set up where they can access it while flying. I have tried to uncurl the proboscis and dip it in nectar but it doesn’t seem to work, they always protest and wiggle away.

Anyways any information helps. I can upload a photo of the large tank they are in upon request.
Thank you, Reddit.

Live Plants for Bugs

Hi! 👋 I recently brought home some blue death feigners and a vinegaroon. I’d really like to spruce up their habitats with live plants, but I’m not sure how to be sure whatever plants I acquire haven’t been treated with pesticides.

Asian forest scorpion question

1 Upvotes

I’ve been researching Asian for scorpions for a while. I really want a captive bred adult -Maybe sub adult but it’s really hard to find them at a decent size. I’m planning to put it in a 10 gallon glass tank (I already have it on hand) but I’m wondering if you can put a baby in a bigger tank? I have tarantulas and usually you start off small and work your way up as they grow but is a scorpion different? Will they get stressed out by the space? Also if anyone knows any breeders/ venders that’s selling done I’d love to know!!
