Thank you @CosbyArt. I think, that during earlier instars I could keep a whole litter in there (after the parents are gone) and later, when they are nearing adulthood, sell the excess and keep 10 of the nicer coloured ones. That will be a really nice sight :)

I've just finished my group enclosure for Phyllocrania paradoxa. It's just a lonely pair out there, but hopefully I'll get another two in next two weeks and then I'll just have to wait for the offspring :) The vivarium size is 40x30x35cm - how many adults I could fit there?  Also, my female...

Creobroter gemmatus: L3/4 They are getting bigger, altough from the original 7ones, only 3 stays alive. 

Today I managed to find some time and take a few photos. Those would be too much for a single post, so I'll show you only the Phyllocrania paradoxa for today :)

Today, I'd like to show you some plants from my favorite genus: Heliamphora. They originate from mysterious tabletop mountains in Venezuela, called Tepui, which inspired Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World"  Heliamphora 'Midoxa'  Heliamphora cilliata    Heliamphora huberi [Bonettia Forest]...

There are many CP nurseries in USA, that are great. It's always better to buy from them, than from any lowes, wallmart, etc. I can recommend https://www.californiacarnivores.com/collections/venus-flytraps-dionaea-muscipula :)

Yup I do have two of them, but they are pretty tiny still. I've propagated them from leaf pullings, from my friend's plant. But they are surely a slow grower.

@CosbyArt Thank you :)   I must surprise you... It didn't take me as long as you think, to amass such a collection and knowledge to maintain it... I started on 02.10.2015 :D  I just passionately amassed all the knowledge I could find, talked to tons of experieced growers and compulsively...

Just a couple new photos :) Drosera regia Drosera alicae  Drosera capillaris Drosera latifolia [Itarare, Sao Paulo, Brazil] Brocchinia hechtioides Utricularia pubescens Dionaea muscipula 'Dutch' Dionaea muscipula 'Red-Green" Dionaea muscipula 'Akai Ryu'

The  Nepenthes spectabilis x aristolochioides is placed in my highland terrarium... let's say "mini-greenhouse". I've made it myself with 16mm polycarbon, to gain better temperature isolation. It's 150cm high, with a base of 90x40cm. I manage to drop the temperature every night by 10*C by simply...

@hibiscusmile It really depends on the clone. Some tend to clump amazingly, while others just keep a few leaves at the time. Also, before the plant establishes itself in new environment it will lose leaves faster. I have a habit of removing leaves as soon as the first black spots appears on it...

@CosbyArtThe number and diversity of carnivorous plants species is really mind blowing if you look into that. I have nearly 150 different species, hybrids and variations of carnivorous plants and surprisingly... I don't have a greenhouse :D  I keep them all in my small, rented room. I'm just...

Just some new pictures from my collection. Enjoy! :) Nepenthes fusca Nepenthes bicalcarata 'Red flush' N. 'Miranda' N. 'Hookeriana' Nepenthes ampullaria Lime Twist Nepenthes glabrata Nepenthes ampullaria Green and Harlequinn N. campanulata Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa x...

Thank you for confirming :) As for the mortality of l1 nymphs, it's unfortunate but I knew that and I prefer to buy l2-l4 because of that,  but those were so cheap! Around  0,60€ each. 

Hi again! I just wanted to share with you some news. My creobroters just molted into L2 and unfortunately, two of them didn't make it. One apparently fell down and stuck into the bottom of the enclosure. It was impossible to move it. But the rest is fine (Except for one weird case of lost leg...

Yeah, I don't think that I'll have much trouble getting the species I want in Europe. Just asking out of curiosity :)

Hi guys ! In this thread,I'd like to share with you some photos of my plants.If you're interested carnivorous plants and have some questions,I'm your guy :) Sarracenia flava var. flava Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpa f102mk Sarracenia flava Sarracenia alata [Angelina County]...

Hi! I'm Konrad, just a simple guy from Poland, who fell in love with nature, but didn't manage to get a nature-related job. So while stuck behind desk, I find other ways of surrounding myself with bits and pieces of nature. For some time I'm collecting carinvorous plants and I've already...

To be honest, I'm having doubts with the safety of shipping live insects across the ocean. I do it with carnivorous plants without a problem, but would the mantids survive? Do you guys have any experience with that? Or maybe some tips, from which instar it's safer to do that?

Thank you for the reminder,but it is very doubtful that I'm gonna use the sales section, as I'm living in Europe :)
