Nocturnal geckos' benefit from UVB is debateable. Typically UVB lights are not required for their care. However, ambiant lighting is important to give them a structured day/night cycle, which your window will provide no problem.

If you do wish to use a UVB lamp, choose one that is fairly low output, 5% uvb or less (it will say on the box). Put it on a twelve hour timer.

forgot to mention while ambiant light in the room is good, direct sunlight through the window on to the tank is a no no as it can cause the interior temperature to go way higher than you want. So, tank in room with window but not in the path of direct sunlight.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. The habitat to be is a 4 season gazebo that I would be happy to set up to accomodate for my new geusts. It has plenty of windows so it receives plenty of sunlight. If uvb is needed i would happily set up special lighting, but it would save me a lot of confusion if I didn't, as the scaling is weird and I don't really have the tools to measure uv light.

>>2444674
Who doesn't?

>>2444674
so uh... how do they dispose of the worms afterwards anyway?

>>2444670
I never expected this meme to make it to /an/

But lo and behold

What? It's been years, m8.

Homeward Bound?

>>2444688
Oh shit I forgot about Homeward Bound
That might actually fuck me up too bad. I'll have to warm up to that

La cucarracha

look up "webspinner"
I get these every so often
at least it's not a fucking termite

these don't seem to do jack shit, and the males (the ones with wings) apparently don't even eat, so they at least won't bite you

>>2444619
Looks like a stonefly. Utterly harmless. The worst they will do is be attracted to your lights at night.

Tis it in the air, thinking the inside is some sort of quartz, but honestly kinda a scrub about this

Looks like a slice of a petrified wood limb. Sometimes in fossilization certain agates fill in where the normal minerals would, maybe that bit of trunk had a huge sap deposit? but sides do look like tree bark.

Slice of petrified branch.
It fossilized upside down relative to your pictures.
The bottom (top in your picture) rotter away somewhat before becoming encased.
Mineralization progressed from the bottom and top, water seepage filtering down and pooling. The outer shell mineralized, then the remaining wood rotted completely away except for the heartwood, which rested on the bottom in the now open (though water filled) void and mineralized there.
After that point the remaining void filled with crystal growth like any geode, which gradually filled up entirely.

The same way you do...?

truly causes one to ponder

Presumably they have enough traits in common to be easily classified as same species without putting much thought to it including smell which is distinctive enough to be often recognizable for humans who have much weaker sense of smell

Also I wouldn't say they're that good at recognizing their own species if they fuck wolves and stuff

yea iv seen this type of thing before

>>2444279
Well played

>>2444267
Probably quartz

>>2444185
Short answer.. no

>>2444185
Pretty much what >>2444205 said
Some type of IGR will sterilize them, at least. As long as you have warmth and moisture, that species of roach will keep coming inside. If you live in a moldy, humid hellhole, there's pretty much nothing you can do to stop it.

[1/3] pull all the stuff out of the cabinet under the sink and squirt pic related in all the gaps where the pipes come out of the wall. if you have a water heater in your apt, do the pipes there, too. any other gaps in the walls, plug 'em. find it at the hardware store, it is inexpensive.

bit racist m8

>>2443573
no, my cat can't be trained.

>>2443573
cat's aren't very social and don't pick up on verbal/visual cues as well as other animals. You probably could but it'd be much easier to do it with a dog or a rat

>>2443573

i want giant chinese/japanese salamander
maybe i could have them but i dislike bureucracy linked with importing protected animal from abroad

>>2439669
you could spend 5 million and be no closer to getting one

>>2439670
why? ticket to china is not that expensive and in china you can buy one from farm for relatively low prices

Whale penis, possibly humpback.
If you had the biggest penis in the animal kingdom you'd show it off to.

>>2445968
Maybe sailors in olden days saw these and mistook them for giant whale/squid tentacles. So all the myths based off these are really based off giant dongs. Imagine that guys!?

strawberry eel. supposedly if you lick it, tastes like strawberry.
