Hope all is well. one thing i keep finding since i got into the hobby is that there is always another critter that you want. Most of the Critters we keep would love nothing more than to be put in an enclosure with another Critter or "Dinner". The problem there is that any Tarantula or mantis left alone with another would love nothing more than to eat its buddy.
So after spending some time researching and getting advice from some people in the hobby i have decided to set up my own Invert community, I am going to start off with my millipede Ziggy and 6 sun beetles. Now the beetles are very short living so i am going to be interested in seeing if they can breed even with Ziggy in the mix.
Im expecting my Beetles to arrive by Friday and they will be in the larvae stage. i will be posting updates of their growth. If this proves a successful experiment i may start to do starter packs. I think it would be a wonderful gift for hobbyists or newcomers alike. Getting to see not only how different types of beetles react to each other but how they get on with millipedes.
I also have some african land snails on the way, these guys are something i have always wanted to keep and breed, they are just amazing, full of personality and dare i say it cute? They are easy to breed easy to keep and a great starter pet.
One thing i will be documenting with the snails is just how fast the reproduce, African land snails have both a male and female sex organ and do need another snail to breed, i have read reports of a snail reproducing with itself but im not sure i believe that. they can still produce fertile eggs a year after being separated from another snail.
Thanks again for reading and if you have any questions please put them in the comments below or find me on twitter
