My centipede gave birth and I have about 20 centipedes now. What should I do with 20 centipedes? Keep in mind they are not a native species.
>>4935783Barely, the earliest known examples of both date around ~430 million years ago.As in, they probably split apart before land animals existed.

>>4935598That might be a good idea. I'll try to see if my country has some kind of a network (maybe on social media or something) where I can find pet owners willing to part with their snakes.Honestly, when I was beginning to do research on pet reptiles, one thing that really surprised me was how long these things lived.Even something as simple as a bearded dragon can live up to a decade. I've always thought they only lived like 3-4 years at most. But in captivity? Turns out they can live quite long lives.
Why are snakes considered on the whole so much more dense than lizards when if you give a (comfortable) snake some kind of new toy or terrain it will generally investigate and interact with it wheras lizards dont give a shit about anything unless they want to eat it or they think it wants to eat them, which is exactly what people say about snakes? I've never seen a lizard do anything with any kind of enrichment items like snakes will, they barely seem to be aware of the world around them if its not moving

Dubias having such long flexible necks under their shells always looks so weird
x-posting here from /aq/ because i know you guys use heater lamps more. usually you'd use a thermostat but the bowl is tiny and i'd need a light anyway. what's the minimum requirement lamp i'd need to keep about 6 liters of water at 21~24 ºC? my house is probably at around 15ºC most times.
Shrimp farms are probably the closest things to hell on earth.Imagine that you came across 1,500 shrimp about to be painfully killed. They were going to be thrown onto ice where slowly, agonizingly, over the course of 20 minutes, they’d suffocate and freeze to death at the same time, a bit like suffocating in a suitcase in the middle of Antarctica. Imagine them struggling, gasping, without enough air, fighting for their lives, but it’s no use.Fortunately, there’s a machine that will stun every shrimp, so that they’ll be unconscious during their deaths rather than in extreme agony. But the machine is broken. To fix it, you’d have to spend a dollar. Should you do so? We can even sweeten the deal and imagine that the machine won’t just be used this year—it will be used year after year, saving 1,500 shrimp per year.It seems obvious that you should spend the dollar. Extreme agony is bad. If you can prevent literally thousands of animals from being in extreme agony for the cost of a dollar—for around a fourth of the cost of a cup of coffee—of course you should do so! It’s common sense. In fact, this would be the best dollar you spent all year—every penny would save 16 shrimp from an agonizing death per year!I asked ChatGPT to make an image of 1,500 shrimp in a lecture hall—here’s the image, but it’s only of ~200 shrimp, so you really save much more than this:A large lecture hall filled with 1,600 shrimp, each seated in rows as if attending a class. The shrimp vary slightly in size and have expressive eyes, some holding tiny notebooks or pencils. The lecture hall is designed with realistic details like wooden desks, chairs, and a large chalkboard at the front. Warm lighting fills the room, creating a whimsical yet realistic scene of shrimp attending a lecture. Overhead, a large projector displays a slide with shrimp-related topics. High level of detail, 3D style. (Above image is not realistic—shrimp do not actually attend lectures).

How does it feel knowing you betrayed your best friend's trust that you would take care of her by killing her when she wanted to live. You murdered her than came here crying to get some sympathy. Too bad she got stuck with a psycho like you, her last moments could have been a lot happier (and had more of them) had she gotten a different owner. Now fuck off.
>*record scratch* >Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation.
>>4935761Blud is just making up words
>>4935720Spiders are small and can crawl undetected into clothing, shoes, under the sheets of your bed. They can come out of nowhere at any moment. I went into the bathroom once and looked up at the mirror and there was one on my shoulder. I guess it crawled on me when I was sitting on the couch but I didn't know it was there. You can avoid big and small cats. You can't avoid spiders. And it doesn't matter that most are harmless. The fact that some of them can bite you and cause your flesh to rot off is enough to keep people spooked.

There's a fucked up weird lifecycle with people trading sick and gangsters.Apparently the way this works is that someone drugs someone so they're sick whenever they breathe in smoke or there's some other cue, and then they use behavioral conditioning on them like a dog not to do that. Until the person makes enough money to afford their own dog which is associated with someone that's sick and they do that until they're killed by the next person to be sickened to the point where they need to work to afford a dog.This is a.weitd and gross thing. Nurses in San Francisco have sprayed down emergency rooms with air fresheners when "dogs" with lung disease start acting up (these are.people) and then everyone puts a mask on.Is this what COVID is?

>>4935533>I think the surface agitation from the filter is killing my red root floatersIt can be done with moderate flow from a hob filter or agitation from a sponge filter. The trick is to take a floating feeder ring, secure it in whatever area of the surface gets the least agitation from your filter, add whatever floater you have inside the ring. Tie a suction cup to the ring and stick the cup to one of the side walls so it stays put. Also, and this may sound counter-intuitive, duck weed can actually help you encourage growth of the more delicate floating plant species. The way this works is duckweed will surround your other floating plants in such a way that it shields them from surface agitation. You do need an excess of duckweed for this to trick work though. And you have to routinely remove some of the duckweed so it doesn't just outcompete everything and take over (which it will).
>>4935533Absolutely not, that's enough fish to need the filter.You also need the agitation to keep the water oxygenated. Maybe try putting in one of those "floater barriers" to help the floaters hold in place.>>4935496Shrimp will eat their dead fellows almost before the latter stop moving. If the shrimp wasn't eaten by the salamander but died, its body would have disappeared in a few hours.

i've come to terms with the fact that if i release my crystal red shrimp from their maternity when they're mature, the betta in the tank is just gonna eat/harass them until they're either all gone or so hidden i never even see them anyway.so now i'm thinking of setting up a ~6L shrimp bowl. my house is cold as fuck so i thought of getting some of those heater lamps. how do i know how potent a lamp to get to keep it appropriately warm without it being overkill?
previously on /jg/ >>4913581Who is Jefrey (with one F) and why should you care?He was found abandoned in some bushes late one night, filthy and covered in fleas back in mid-July 2024. He’s growing up fast, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, fetching his ball, playgrounds, and capybaras. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.Jefrey suffers from severe ear-ectile dysfunction.Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.
>>4935083Right... that's for the best
I’m heading on a weeklong trip with my wife, in the meantime one of her friends is gonna housesit for us, so Jefrey may be more radio silent than normal til next weekend.
