Couple of Critters - wasps, Tarantula, Mantis and Lizard

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

@TheSashaMartinez I didn't. This is just a nest inside a plastic crate that's in my yard. I get wasp nests in that broken crate, inside 3 of our bird houses and one inside my Dad's unused cement turner. They're great for keeping garden pests in check.

awesome ts and mantis! i had 2 mantis' but sadly i had to release them because i couldnt get anyone to care for them while i was gone i had the 1st one for like 3 weeks and the 2nd one for like 1 and a half i wanted to keep them :(

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

@End0987612 Aww. You have any local garden nurseries? Some sell mantis ootheca in the summer months. You hatch them as a biological pest control. You can keep a few of the nymphs separately after they emerge from the ootheca.

@KawaiiKemonomimi hmm that sounds cool but no i dont have any of those around here

isnt killing a mantis illeagal

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

@aer8862357 Why would it be? It a state bug? Anyway, I didn't kill it. A dog at daycare did. I brought it home to take pictures since I've never seen this species. The live one came later from my Dad. I released it because it was a male so he could search for females.

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

[xsyorra]

Fang is looking quite nice these days......how big is he now???

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

@xsyorra 3" now. He lost a lot of bristles under his abdomen. Their are pics of it on my Photobucket. He may molt out of it most likely.

Was that a P. pulcher at 0:22? BTW i just got a P. Irminia sling a couple weeks ago and was wondering if you had any tips. :)

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

@thebugcatcher100 Nah, that's Fang the P.cambridgei. I don't have pulcher...yet. I have 5 P.irminia in round Kritter Keepers. Kept on at least 2" of moist (not wet. If you can squeeze the water out it's too much) peat/potting soil. I also has some dry sphagnum moss on top so they can add it to their webbing. Clean Gatoraid caps for water (they aren't little slings anymore. They used to get misting). Little more moist when in premolt.

@KawaiiKemonomimi thanks for the tips, they just love redecorating their enclosures! Mine has already made a huge system of web tunnels with dirt on them. It is also the most active t ive owned

[LegitReptiles]

TALK MORE!!

:) ITS OKAY.

And what kinda parrot was that in the backround?

Sweet lizard.

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

@LegitReptiles They're blue-and-gold macaws my parents got over 25 years ago. They have one baby named Jack. We don't breed them anymore since Mom had a hard time letting go of the chick. She had to get up every 2 hours to feed him when he was growing. LOL, I'll try to talk more. Cat gets my tongue a lot on video.

[LegitReptiles]

@KawaiiKemonomimi Ahh I see,

I love parrots :D Have a few myself.

Are you selling them ? :O Aahahaaa.
