Crab monkey shill detected

If it came out of your head, pretty fucked

If it fell from your hair or something, not at all

>>2203296
>If it fell out of your head
Whoops, should've specified "hair" but thanks in advance

>>2203293
Oh no, a beetle. The deadliest of creatures.

>>2203105
It's an Argiope aurantia, literally one of the most common spiders in the civilized world that you somehow don't know about.

It's harmless.

>handle it
Not afraid of spiders but why would u want to handle it? Its killing bugs that you really dont wanna handle, how bout leavin spiderbro alone

>>2203002
>I want to create a lure
this is not fishing, m8

also, please be responsible and make sure your animal is not able to escape.

really, that's how you CAN start a desaster (with invasive species)

you will most likely never find it again

>>2203002
It's probably outside, they can cover a lot of territory but it depends heavily on the spider how far will it go.

It's gonna be under something around 500 meters around your house.

You will never lure it, that's not something spiders do.

>>2203010
>>2203015
Yeah I didn't think a lure world work since most of the time it just kind of did it's own thing regardless. I heard some people suggest putting a hide and some water out for it but it's been my experience it's never been attracted towards it. I tried it anyways just in case
I just feel helpless in finding it since I'm not home that often now

Jesus Christ kill your mom

I actually do remember your thread.

The defecation could be stress, or he could like pooping and peeing outside. If I remember, you said he used doggy pads. Believe it or not, dogs do have a substrate preference where they take care of business. So you'd need to monitor him to see if he looks stressed out exploring, or seems to be enjoying himself.

find him a nice spot he enjoys to shit, take him there to shit everytime he needs to.
i remember you are old enough to decide these things yourself and not be ruled by your mother

Saw your last thread, very informative. I myself saw these videos by Ambuehl and also wanted to get into the hobby, but the short lifespan as a fully developed bug for most species was kind of a drawback for me. Is there something bug-like out their that lives beyon 1.5 years as a bug? I've heard good things about Hemiptera/Heteroptera as an order but haven't found much in terms of care.

To start things up:

The attached picture is of Hirofumi Kawano and the beetle sitting on his hand is a "hercules beetle" ( Latin/scientific name: Dynastes hercules hercules ) from the world wide known Hiroka Strain.
Mr. Kawano bred the biggest ever recorded Dynastes hercules hercules in the world in the year 2014. The beetle was exactly 171mm long and was the biggest "Hercules beetle" ever to be bred back in 2014.

But how did he accomplished that ?
Well, it required a lot of time, discipline and willpower.
Mr. Kawano bred Dynastes hercules hercules selectively over ten years, he always picked the biggest beetles for the next generation. So he accomplished his own personal strain of giant "hercules beetle", today widely known as the Hiroka Strain.
He also perfected the food ( substrate ) for the larvae. He makes his own substrate with a big mixer, but the exact recipe as well as the ingredients are, of course, a big secret, since Mr. Kawano still wants to be the world best breeder of Dynastes hercules hercules.
And if course he makes money with it, big time.

Have you ever experimented with live supplements for extra protein? When I had some Goliathus as a kid I gave them waxworm larvae/pupae and mealworm pupae, after it was suggested that they had specialised forearms for grabbing things. Seemed to work pretty well, but I was wondering if Dynastinae etc. would make use of livefood too?

name it ugly faggot, after yourself.

How about Salamander?

I dunno, her large ears made me think of frills that I thought salamanders have. Although upon a google search of what salamanders actually look like, they have no frills and look slimier and less cute than I thought.

>>2202805

are you autistic?

>>2202646
have you given it water? maybe some fruit and seeds? I don't know how well it'll do in a dog crate, it may need a perch of some sort to be able to sleep. I hope you can find the owner anon, if not what do you plan on doing with it?

jam a broomstick or etc through the holes in the cage all the way through to act like a perch.

you can use an old hoodie or small towel + binder clips

It's a cat. Not much to do. Show it to its litter box (or boxes, depending on the size of your place), give it a really nice, high quality food, and leave it alone for as long as it needs to get used to the environment. Basically, for the first week or two, just clean the box and leave out food. Every cat is different: some it will take zero time for them to think they own the place, others it will take a few weeks.

Oh, and you are going to see its asshole a lot, as a cat walks about with its tail straight in the air when it is happy and content. It will be weirdly uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it.

>>2202431
Get used to your house smelling like shit for the rest of your life.

Not all cats are the same. You can get a shitty cat. You don't know. Dont let it ruin your experience with cats. I never had a bad cat, but oh boy do personalities change drastically from kitten to adult. If this is your first cat ever I'd suggest adopting an adult cat. I've hand raised many kittens. None of them were shits but the change is very drastic. An adult will have a set in personalities. With kittens you don't really know what you may get.

Also clean the litter box often. This is very important, otherwise it will smell terrible or encourage it to shit on other things because they want to do that somewhere clean.

no, is greyshark

Probably would have been better suited for /plant/ general but oh well.

Completely agree, gardening and rearing plants is a quintessential therapeutic hobby, hence why so many grannies and retiredfags do it. The idea of gradual growth towards goals really seems to help when there's not much going on in life, and the achievement of fruit/produce/flowers at the end helps put a timescale to things. Shit is great for sad lonely people, and plants usually don't need the devout attention and parent status that animals do.

Nice plants OP, I've got a plant of some variety hanging from my cieling and he's wonderful

The tiger

>>2202005
As far as i know tigers are better at stealth attacks, so i guess whomever gets their prefered situation.

>>2202009
>>2202011
Wouldn't the bear kill the tiger with one swipe? Even if the tiger got to the bear first.

Here's a better pic !

A lot of idiots are going to tell you it's a brown recluse due to the marking on the thorax, but this is a harmless male orbweaver. He's out looking for girls.

>>2201613
Find him some spider puss, OP. If he is an orbweaver he will be better off in gardens and vegetation.

Yes, they work, just make sure there is an adjustment for the level of shock and read guides carefully on how to use them. Also, consistency is really important or it's just gonna be abusive. If it's not consistent, they won't make a connection.

That said, the one I used was a pain in the ass because the prongs would always lose skin contact after an hour. The means they shock wouldn't happen when I needed it. Which meant inconsistency. So I stopped using it. It was going to do more harm than good.

>>2201578
I want to use it for out door/off leash training so consistency is my goal for sure. And we're having issues with surfing the counter for food. She knows its wrong and so only does it when she thinks we can't see.

Any good guides out there you'd recommend? In addition, she's fairly long haired so is that likely to interfere with the connection to skin?

I watch a golden retriever for a family that had their dog trained on them for when they take her off leash to aid in recall (she barely needs it but it's good to have).
Their method is call the dog, if no response: beep the collar. It's really good for dogs that are already trained to be on an electric fence because they know that BEEP BEEP means they're doing something wrong.
I feel like it would be hard to use them to train a dog against counter surfing given how hard it would be to be consistent with them.
