Tank glass removes the vitamin D from sunlight that they need

You should just get rid of the turtle, you don't sound qualified at all to keep one.

You can't even afford a basic setup for one. What would you do if it needed a vet? Let it die?

What do you feed it? Shitty pellets from the pet store?

RES take years to reach sexual maturity and even then most probably need to hibernate before they even start producing eggs. My yellow slider is 10 years old and has never laid any.

engineer mosquito AIDS

>>2232980
We don't. They have been around long, long before us, and they will be around long after we are gone.

In some places they are doing it by genetically engineering sterile male mosquitos (which do not bite unlike females), feeding them a lot so they get big and sexually attractive, then releasing them in mosquito heavy areas. The female breed with them, nothing happens, and the mosquitoes die out.

I do this.
but I'm psychotic.

I do this with every single animal I encounter. Mostly in my head, but my pets and friends' pets are out loud.

I also play a game where I pick up my cats and walk wherever they turn their heads. After a while, they get used to using me as a mecha suit and mostly use their new human height to look out various windows and reach tall things. They usually only get stuck in a corner once or twice before they figure it out.

Oh absolutely I do. It's fun to talk to them and make up their responses. Usually in a way that makes fun of them, not that they are insulted by it.

RIP OP

>>2232900
No anon! I need you to grab a shotgun, run to the nearest mall, stand on a podium, and started yelling loudly into the mic-'CA CAW CA CAW, TOOKI TOOKI!!'

Those look like solider fly larvae. They're excellent live food for just about anything, you should be happy.

looks kind of like an organism with an open digestive track...do you have more information on the origin of this?

I dont have much information. The only thing i know is that has been stained with Hematoxylin Eosin

Here is a closer look

>>2232799
Woah, those are some big brown recluse larvae!

I think every neighborhood ought to have a government subsidized bee keeper or some shit

I know that bees in general are facing problems, but as someone from Hawaii I have to say.

Humane rat trap. Put it in one of the tunnels.

cute! CUTE!

Have a family member who has owned Pembroke Corgis and they've all been great.
I'm currently living with them and as they're busy working, I basically raise theirs myself. The one they have now is one of the sweetest dogs ever. If it could wake up, snuggle on your lap all day and then go to sleep when the day is over it would be content. They're also generally really energetic, but theirs is pretty calm for a Corgi.
Either way, 11/10 dogs overall and maximum/10 on the cuteness scale.

As a board regular, I can tell you that the most humane thing you can do is to eat it

Put it in a freezer, it's how they advise to kill cane toads which are a problem in some of AUS. Or just stomp the cunt.

You have more stuff since the last time.

The black and orange spider it's a phidippus johnsoni, the spider that went to space.

Jumping spiders tend to jump at things you put in front of them, to get higher ground.

the fuck is that thing

>>2232489
Awesome. I had no idea. Thats pretty cool

Forgo the kitten. They aren't worth the effort. Your apartment will be covered in hair & smell like piss. Your friends will all abandon you & you'll likely never get laid again.

>>2232427
don't worry, they have no friends, are virgins, live in a piss-smelling apartment and are very hairy already

they'll be fine

The kitten will likely be able to climb out making it useless. Forgo the pin. Just leave the kitten be until it comes to you for the first couple days

Call a friend and ask if they can pick up cat food for you and them buy them pizza + pay for cat food to say thanks

>>2232417
I did this but they can't do it till tomorrow, i need to feed my puss something from the house. Should i ask /b/ instead?

>>2232413
Feed it antifreeze. It is very nutritional for cats.
