Why is this marketed for spiders? This has got to be too small right??

Does this look ready for some plants and springtails? Gotta establish it before I get any D. Planatas

About four clutches of nymphs varying from 5-1 months old looking for new homes!

2 Upvotes

Hello! Long story short my daughters have been giving birth nonstop and I have a pretty big collection of nymphs!
(I am NOT looking to sell them- I just want to give them to someone who would love them!)

There’s so many I don’t even know what to do with them-

I’m looking to transfer my grandbabies to someone! I don’t want to have to give them to petsmart again and I’m hoping that there will be someone out there willing to give them a good home or make sure they make a good snack at least-

I genuinely believe there’s over 100 by now..

I’m also wondering about advice on how to transport them? I’ve heard you can basically put them in a box and they should be fine but I’m not a huge fan of that idea-
My plan would be to get a huge box to seperate them as best as I can then get a bunch of Tupperware with holes on the top, food and egg cartons for them? Any other tips for how to effectively seperate them would be welcome since this would be my first time!

EDIT— they’re Madagascar hissing cockroaches! This was originally posted on r/roaches!

species recs for a slightly unusual enclosure

Hi there everyone! I'm new to the sub and the hobby alike -- the only type of inverts I've kept are isopods so far. I'm intending to expand my collection soon :)

So, I was given this neat little enclosure recently that's kind of unusual, and I'm hoping to get some thoughts on what kind of invert might find it a good home? I won't get anything until I've done plenty of reading/looking ofc, but any thoughts would be much appreciated!

The enclosure is a little quirky in design lol, but I'm hoping it can suitable for something. For one thing, it doesn't open at the top, only on one side (as pictured.) It's got a lot of cross-ventilation, and there are about 3 inches for substrate beneath the door hinges. The pictures have measurements, but just in case: it's roughly 5" deep, 8" wide, 9" tall, with the 9" being split evenly between the bottom, the door area, and the highest point on the "roof"

I'd also be happy to alter it slightly, like if there's too much ventilation or if that thin crack at the top of the door needs to be somehow sealed

Thanks!

I had gotten 2 millipedes from online a while back. I had crossed my fingers they would give me 2 females or 2 males but it came as 1 female 1 male. I had seperated them a long while back hoping they have not done the baby making yet.. but low and behold I have a tub of a bunch of baby millipedes! I love my millipedes and my many creatures.. But seeing all the babies squirming around in the dirt is really freaking me out! I'm in the Virginia area with no reptile stores around me to take them! If anyone wants a free box of Ivory millipedes, please take them if I can atleast keep one or two.. Or if anyone can provide me with advice on what to do, it would be appreciated!
