This guy has a huge chunk of coconut meat in his mouth, and I noticed the poor baby is missing his big claw and another limb!

The cork round is from amazon as well as...

Thanks for the info on the net! I'll check it out! --do you have any information on growing grass or seed so they can munch on it after it sprouts? I hear seeds are bad but I was thinking of tucking a container into the substrate with the grass so it doesn't get messy,, problem is I'm not sure what...

I love your nets and log bridge! Very natural look, I like it a lot! Now I want to go out and crochet some hemp... That is hemp, right? It's gorgeous! I had a few thoughts for you - looks like you have a painted shell in there - I'd recommend removing that. If they eat the paint on the shell, it co...

Sounds like you have some flooding going on. This happens if you mist regularly. Do you have any molters down? at least 5-8 are always mostly down in the substrate .. they love tunnel digging Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Well, sounds like you need to mix some dry substrate into your current sub...
