"don't talk to me or my daughter ever again" editionFound a juvenile widow in my charcoal chimney. She's still got the gold stripe down her back. I'll have to get her set up with a bigger enclosure soon but I think she's okay in the sling box for now. Also think the middle widow is working on some eggs, it's been a week or so since she ate and she's still looking thicc.
How big is your enclosure for hissing cockroaches? I was planning on getting a couple, just to keep not to raise a colony, but the guides I read range from 5 gal too 20 gal, I assume 20 gal is only if you plan to breed a colony right?
>>5052645Jfc that is the cutest spider I have ever seen. She’s one tiny top hat away from cartoon status.
8-bit caterpillar
>>5057153I'm excited to see what she looks like after she molts. She started on Oct 5th and has been resting ever since.
My 10+ year old G pulchra molted recently, she's getting pretty big.

>>5055446I guess, though even if if is, it's definitely on the lighter side, compared to something like say Alien Biospheres which works from a starting point onwards and then sees where it ends uptoo much magic to explain away issues in Kaimere even if it doesn't quite work like traditional magic, and again it is focused around reaching a certain point in time
>>5055410he's admitted several times that he views it just as a setting for his dnd campaign and fantasy novels.
I have this vague notion bouncing around my head of lifeforms that are made out of plasma, constructed from patterns in the oscillations and fields in a plasma, rather than chemistry. They could have evolved in stars, but I'm imagining them as appearing in the early universe, when all of space was filled with plasma. If they evolved to sapience they could construct arcs to survive in during the period between recombination, when the temperature of the universe lowered to the point all the plasma went away, and the birth of the first stars, which they could then move into. This early period of the universe only lasted 370,000 years, which normally wouldn't be long enough to evolve sapience, but this is high-energy plasma we're talking about, with particles moving and interacting very quickly. I could imagine the fundamental processes underpinning their life happening so quickly, that they undergo a full generation in a matter of seconds, which would allow enough generations to pass in 370k years for them to reach sapience.
>>5056082incredibly implausible, obviously, but highly kino. I've had somewhat similar musings about emergent generalized intelligence appearing in the conductive rock structures of a planet powered by the lightning storms of its atmosphere, as by technicality something like that could exist, but it would be insanely unlikely and we would hardly be able to notice anyway unless it somehow obtained a method of interfering with the outside world at a sufficient rate.
>>5056179People talk about mycelium networks as being like neurons, and if one of those became intelligent, it could interact with the world by strategically throttling nutrient flow through the plants it exists around, inducing certain evolved behaviors in them. It could even selectively breed them into more useful appendages using that same nutrient flow mechanism. Some plants are able to replicate ant pheromones to make ants do certain things for them, so the mycelium may be able to take advantage of that to turn ants into tools for it to use.

please wish my flytrap luck in the fridge
I should probably bunch these together, it's thrice the work watering them.Anyone with 3+ large monsteras in the same pot? I'm worried about the root growth being too fast.
>>5037604Bought new monstera deliciosa in LidlHave not touched it 5 days now since buyingHave no idea what do toWinter is coming and the windows dont even get 100FC lightIs it one plant or many? Should I water it? Is it even a deliciosa? Help. Help!
>>5057721Looks like 3-4 of them. It's easy to separate if you want, but since it's your first, probably don't.It will most likely die from thrips, very small black pests. If you can get your hands on a systemic pesticide spray, get that.Make sure that whatever pot you put it in has good drainage, holes at the bottom. Water pooling up at the bottom will rot and kill roots.Deliciosa likes to get a bit dry towards the end, so rather than watering on a schedule, look at the soil, bright = dry. Look at the soil deeper as well, just squeeze the pot and lift out. It's most likely rootbound as well, roots pile up and get no soil/water. Don't repot into a too large pot, it will retain too much water and depending on the soil/potting medium, the rot will creep up on you.Deliciosa is also a climbing plant, give the stems a support which the air-roots can cling onto. The distance between each node, the section the leaf is attached too, will give you an indicator on how much more light it wants. Very short, like 2cm between is great, if you're getting like 10cm, desperately needs more light.

>>5049598>>5055781so somewhere along the way, one of these things had some weird defect in its nasal passage that let it blow part of its nasal passage out of its nose, and a particularly fecund female was attracted to it. The offspring were healthy other than their defective nasal passage, and eventually they all had it because that's what the females of this species go for. What a world.

Previously on /jg/ (now /jef/) >>5018575Who is Jefrey (with one F)?He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, capybaras. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. He was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.Jefrey suffers from mild 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.

I really like this color, reminds me of those gray cats
Very pretty all white hen.>>5057316Agreed.
Finally got the supercoop roofed and moved. We were able to pull the 16x32 structure with a truck and a long sling. Very satisfying to see it move. All that is left is adding the rest of the walkway and the nesting boxes. The plassons on the side looks so awesome and the chickens love it. Extremely convenient way to supply water to chickens. HIGHLY recommend a plasson waterer for any flock size.

Most of the ponds around me are already full of different types of invasive/non-native turtles that people ditched or that escaped. Would it really be so bad to add a few snappers to the mix? They'd probably just eat all those other turtles.
>>5057417It's a kitten, kitten practice that posture during play, if it was really afraid it would hiss and claw, not gently touch the playmate.
