Doomsday's Pictures and Videos

[Doomsday]

Thanks for the input. I know that they're easy and live a really long time. The only thing that I was really unsure about was humidity. I have a crested gecko and a California kingsnake myself. I'll probably get a fat tailed gecko if I do put something in the old 20 gallon that I'm not using. Again, thanks.

No problem, man. And that's awesome. I love reptiles. I would love to have a bunch more, but I don't have the time to care for them the way I'd like to, so I'm not getting any new ones for a while. Cali king snakes are awesome! That's one species I've always wanted to get. How old is yours?

He was about a year old when I got him and he'll be three years old this December. They're incredibly easy snakes, I keep mine in a 40 gallon, but one could probably live in a 20 gallon long. It's best to give them something to climb, they like to climb more than any other kingsnake.

Love the music! Nothing more dramatic than baby sundews growing new leaves

 

[Doomsday]

Haha, yup! The way the leaves and tentacles unfurl calls for epic background music.

I like the video of the burmannii, I've got some seeds in today that I'll be germing starting tomorrow. Super excited

 

[curtisconners]

The vft is looking great. I'm glad to know that it's doing well.

Nice! They can take a bit over a month to germinate, but once they do, they grow super quickly, especially if you feed them.

Thanks! You shipped it really well. The plant doesn't seem to have experienced any damaging stress. I can't wait for the new traps to be opened up, and for it to get some color under the lights.

D.m. "Wacky Traps" still making a recovery:

I built a glovebox. Let the tissue culture begin!

That's me I've wanted one of these for years, so I wouldn't have to keep working in a 10gal aquarium with an open front. This should be much easier and more efficient. No more having to rush with plating things up to prevent contaminants from getting in, or rubbing my hands and forearms with alcohol every few minutes.

Pot of D. sp. "Floating" (and a flowering spatulata [possibly from a stray seed from the flowers I thought were empty]?):

What happened to your Wacky Traps and how did you treat it?

He says above how he treated it. It was doing badly and he treated it with peroxide and repotted
