I like the little zebras all saying "subscribe!" At the end here too! They're no subscribe fish, but their little chorus was cute in their own way! So great watching your videos! Each layer of leaves I thought "surely this is enough" and then there was another layer of leaves!

How long do adults live?

Congrats!!! Beetles are such interesting little guys, they seem like the tanks of inverts, and for me they've always been so pleasant to watch do their little marches. I love how big their bodies are and how bouncy their little skinny legs are. May there be many more successful captive breeding stories in the future!

Congrats!!!

Congratulations!!🎉 I Don't really understand all the terms or references used in entomology, but I have 2 feigning death beetles, not the blue ones, and I just love them. 💙 I don't know if they are captive breed but I've had them for over a year now. So cute and easy to care for!

That’s cool and definitely wish you best of luck with your projects. I’ve always found beetles interesting and hope to work with some desert species soon. Hope you have a great day bud 🙋‍♂️✌️

This is AWESOME🎉 Congrats! I have 2 species of desert beetles and I just love to watch them❤ What substrate are yours on? I have mine on sand as recommended by the person I purchased them from.

Congrats on breeding this species! BTW, while these will certainly pupate at warmer temps, unlike Cryptoglossini most Eleodes will pupate just fine at much cooler temps as well. The main trigger for pupation being isolation and a humid environment.

Im going out collecting today and ill try to catch some, though ive never kept any desert Tenebrionids before only the basic feeder mealworms

Wow

Very cool

watching him aggressively shaking the strainer... probably traumatizing for the pods XD

Thanks for answering my molting questions Rus! Makes sense. The moisture gradient and the pods themselves really do so much work for us don’t they haha. Also, those zebras are beautiful! Absolutely fantastic. I can’t make the normal livestream time so I’m excited about the summer times coming up in the future! Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to some this summer

Where do you get the USDA caution sheets? Or do you just print them off yourself?

These little fellas eat supreme isopod chow like I eat Ben and Jerry's 🍨

RIP

You are such an amazing human. I wish I could ship my youngest to your camp!😊

Never used 100watt to 150wstt bulbs. They drain ur energy bills unless u have solar. Best is used a heating pad that can adjustable temperatures. Some 5watt to 10watt ranges pads are the best.

Commenting again because I came back to rewatch... Your excitement is infectious! Never been so excited for dobsonflies so much but I felt your energy and was hyped for you for it! And wow! That toe biter looks so cool, they're scary sumbitches (I say affectionately!) to see in person and I always show videos of them to friends visiting my area to say, "when we go swimming, look out for this guy, he's cool, but ouch!" I've never been brave enough to safely grab one myself - if I see one in my current stage of life I would, but all the times in the past, seeing them in the wild I was a kid and would just scream and panic, and all the braver adults around me would do the picking up and saying "look at its pincers! Those are legs!" Each raising the next generation!

I buy screened aluminum vent inserts designed for houses. Usually 3-in depending on size.

I’m starting making a compost bin/isopod habitat with isopods I found near my chicken coop, I hope I do a good job taking care of those little guys! They started to thrive where I found them and put debris to feed them originally!

I LOVE THIS! Bob AND isopods?! Count me in! 😍🤩

I love these stupid idiots so much

I’ve been wondering if you’d ever gotten your velvet ant expert cousin in for an interview! Super cool. I just wish we could have captive bred velvet ants. 🥺 I’ve kinda fallen in love with the velvet ants in your desert invert vivarium! They’re so funny and lively.

Thank you so much for the helpful info! I was dealing with this EXACTLY with my zebra colony. Thank you for the great info as always ❤

It's beautiful but a little small and if I'm going to have plastic it's going to be a huge tub. Maybe for a display but for the price I can get a 10 gallon glass aquarium

Pikachu!

The zebras are my favorites to look at, regardless of whether the stripes are broken or not, because I love the conrast between their colors and I love how round and shiny they are. These are definitely the isopods I'm hyping myself up to keeping one day! The yellow ones look fabulous. Im actually color sensitive, I believe when I was a kid I was told it was because I have extra cones in my eyes, and there were 2 little ones with some stronger yellow in them that ended up in the culled group. The bright side is that you could end up with a striped party mix 😂 the yellow stripes should be called tigers!

Omg cuties! I love how they all cluster at the front hoping for handouts XD reminds me of my cat hovering at my feet when there's chicken out

Squish it? What velvant do u know??!

I didn't have any in the first ten I bought, but now that I have a big culture going I definitely have blonds that are ancestors of my originals regular duckies!

aww cripes! Ive still got my own unboxing video from him to release! 😂

Oh yay an ironclad beetle! I love those guys

Thank you so much for this video! I commented on your other video about what to do when going away and you’ve been so helpful! I will bear all these things in mind when I set up my enclosure! X

My 3 inch Vinegaroon went underground I assume to molt the beginning of January. I’ve kept the back area most. Getting concerned about the time frame ?? It sounds bad to me !! Suggestion please. I think I should dig her up 😳

If your culture has become thousands in a Rubbermaid tote they will just cover everything. Careful keeping them with inverts. I've lost a couple scorpions to them

Thank you for always dropping links to products, even if in most cases stuff can be found locally. At times I've lived in places where I had to order my bird's food online because I had moved to a new area that didnt have what I needed. Youre very thorough!

I got a colony of panda kings just over 2 weeks ago and I haven’t noticed much activity from them, I understand that they like to burrow and I’ve definitely noticed a lot of that and I keep their substrate fairly moist but I feel like I haven’t seen them at the surface /eating their food at all! Is this fairly normal behavior for them to take this long to acclimate? I know these behaviors were mentioned in the video I’m just anxious about how long they’ve been buried (they are alive, I dug up a couple to make sure they didn’t die from the stress of their new environment but besides that I haven’t touched any of them)

I love these little fellas! Looking into keeping them but what would someone suggest I do when I go away on holiday for a week and can’t spray their substrate? And change out their food? Anyone have any experience? Thank you, brilliant video! Xx

I just got two of the hellburnt diabolical ironclad beetles from Peter a week or so ago, too! I've never had them before either and have enjoyed watching them in my desert tank. I hope you enjoy yours, Rus!

Only bug people will go "I have a traumatic core memory of this creature...I'M SO EXCITED TO HAVE ONE AS A PET!"

I wasn't aware there were local varieties of the ironclads, as all the ones I've seen where I live are an off-black coloration. Very cool to see the variety in this video!

5:18 he says he feeds them morning wood hehehe

i love a good unboxing, and the introducing into their enclosures!

I’ve got three hellburnt diabolical ironclads from bugs in cyberspace! A big male, a big female that’s just slightly smaller, and a tiny little male who’s just a fourth of the size of the other male. I was definitely not expecting the small one to be male, it was quite the surprise! Mine seem very content to hide in their leaves for most of the day, but sometimes they’ll climb up on top of their grape wood or their worm shell and just sniff around. They’re super cute :)

That's some haul! I'm probably going to be doing some talks for kids again this summer, so I'll be hunting in the garden for mini-beasts.

I find the solid black ironclads in my yard from time to time I find the centipedes in my yard also they're creepy

Great video

Unboxing videos are not what I expected when I subscribed, but this is definitely the kind of unboxing video I can get behind! Such fabulous critters. I hope for the best for that cricket, I've always wanted to see a Jerusalem cricket in person so I would be heartbroken if I unboxed one and there was a chance it didn't make it 😭 keeping my pedipalps crossed for you 🤞
