Knowing my little 🐷 girl it would be lunch anyway I've seen people put things from lakes etc in their fish tanks. But then Lav from Lav's snails ended up with snail leeches in 8 tanks. She had collected something from a pond or something - anyway the medicines in the hobby wouldn't kill them. It ended up disastrous for her and she had to shut down her snail breeding business for a while. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked them up from a guy who had 100s in a 12” (30cm) cube terrarium (correct me if I’m wrong with conversions! ). He now has 2998 left. 😜 These ones get around that 17 cm mark, so they make for a great show. New party trick? 😂 thats huge! 6 inches!

Visually it is impossible to tell a Copes from a standard Northeastern. The way to tell them apart is by their singing. She is a girl and does not sing. So I don’t know. I found her in a bag of dirt I bought at the local nursery. When I opened it there she was. Smaller than my thumbnail. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a second way, I don’t remember it from the top of my head, it may be microscopic and highly intrusive 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction: The female stick insect (Mopani) has decided it’s high time to add on another 3/4 of length: Her boyfriend Elmer is tiny compared to him! Apart from that, my chain sword has finally made up its mind to grow. Bonus wet capybara pic: 😁 Have a nice day! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
