Recent developments

Hoffmanseggi colony is finally stable! Lots of molting, possible breeding, and I have at least one confirmed male who is Big and Huge. More dairy cow reproduction but things have been slowing down in the oreo crumble tub. Tried to add in some A. vulgare but I'm not sure how that's going.

Goals and dream pods

What's not to like? Simple pet care plus the fun of collecting pokemon irl! They're very Shaped, completely harmless AND so overlooked that there's plenty of new stuff to learn about them. I got totally invested after waking up one day to see one of my dwarf whites freshly molted and remember showing my geology lab TA (who also thought it was really cool). The community is also super welcoming!
