    WTB:Heat mat

    Nah, they don't want me to do anything card related. They keep telling me a card will encourage me to spend when I'm older which is stupid because that's the only point of money. So anyone else has any extra mats?

    WTB:Heat mat

    I'm looking for 10 and 20 gallon under tank heat mats. The stores around me charge a ridiculous price for a 10 and 20 gal heat mat. A few online stores sell them for around $5-$15. However I'm not allowed to buy things online. So if anyone has any 10 gallon or 20 gallon under-tank heat mats they...

    ISO: Windows XP disk

    I'm trying to reformat my laptop because there's just too much c#### on there to delete. I tried to reformat it with an old XP disk I found but, it tells me that the disk version is too old and that my laptop is too new. If anyone out there has a Windows XP Installer disk for 2005+ they would...

    Turtle eggs

    Well I did say it was found in the middle of a 4 way intersection, which is probably not in the wild ;) Well, I went on turtle forums and looked things up. Still coulnd't find much but i'll keep looking. I'm not really into turtles, but I like studying on new animals that I haven't yet observed.

    Turtle eggs

    I found the turtle on the street near a traffic light in the middle of a big hustling polluted city 3 blocks from my house. I did not take it from the wild. It was probably someone's pet and it somehow escaped.

    My inverts

    I prefer things with a shorter lifespan because most of those are more active. Plus the faster they grow the earlier you'll be able to breed them. The gestation period for a scorpion is 3 months to 1 year. The gestation period for a mantis is a few weeks. I still love arachnids though. I'm...

    Turtle eggs

    Yeah I guess :lol: both were probably dumped somewhere. Glad we found them, so can anybody give me some advice?

    Turtle eggs

    Has any one ever bred a turtle before? I found a western painted years ago right in the middle of a 4 way intersection. I felt sorry for it living in a 20gal aquarium so I gave it to my cousin who had a pond. He also has a western painted turtle that found her way into it on her own. They lived...

    Just got some, P.O's from Jasper. Great communication and transaction. I didn't expect them to arrive here so quickly. I wasn't home when the package was dropped off. Thanks to his fine packing all 6 survived. Will possibly do business with him again in the future.

    critter keeper cage ok for nympths

    Sure, I used that as a substitute cap for my deli cups. I used a fluffy, cotton-like fabric just incase they wanted to molt. It prevents them from falling. Critter Keepers are more for the large mantids. I kept my L5 chinese in there. It molted into an sub-adult and ended up on the bottom with...

    Dying or molting?

    Well don't just go freezing every mantis that you think is "suffering" You don't know how many times someone freezes a perfectly good mantis. After a molt one of my mantids had a bad leg. His next molt to sub adult was even worse, both of his back legs were crippled so badly. He was sluggish...

    Arghhhh, all the pain!

    Well the pain will certainly stop sooner or later but knowing that you have train tracks in your mouth never goes away. You'll constantly pick at it to get rid of food leftovers. After all the pain has stopped you'll have to go back to the dentist again to get it tightened and it starts all over...

    Texas Unicorn Issue

    Mine molted well in low humidity. I usually gave them alot of water to drink manually before a molt. Almost all insect/arachnids molt by secreting fluid right underneath the old skin. Most of that liquid is made up of water.
