My WC Insect Enclosures and Molted P.audax

Hi Again Everybody!
Just wanted to share my setups for all of my wild caught insects, and my freshly molted Phidippus audax!
First off, here's my 6 D.elongatus and 1 C.tricolor's  enclosure. It's just a plastic container with small ventilation holes on the lid. I have a mix of coconut fiber and sand as their substrate, with a piece of cork bark and a couple pieces of egg crate in there for them to hide under.

Secondly, here's my 2 Scarites vicinus enclosure. It's a plastic Zip Lock container. I'm also using a mix of sand and coconut fiber as their substrate since they are also ground beetles and I have a couple pieces of cork bark in there for them to hide under.

Thirdly, here's my mixed colony of C.convexus, P.scaber, and A.vulgare's enclosure. It's a plastic Sterilite container with locking clamps on the lid. I use a mix of coconut fiber, dead leaves, and small chunks of rotten wood as their substrate. I also have a piece of cork bark and some pieces of egg crate in there for them to hide under.

Fourthly, here's my T. helluo's enclosure. It's also a plastic Sterilite container with locking clamps on the lid, only it's a little smaller than my isopods' container and I have 5 holes in the lid for ventilation with metal mesh hot glued over them. I use coconut fiber as the substrate and I have 2 pieces of cork bark as its hides.

Lastly, here's my P.audax's enclosure. It's just a simple, small plastic container. I am using coconut fiber as the substrate and I have some pieces of egg crate in there for it to hide and make it's webs on, although it only seems to make it's webs in the top corners of the container. I also noticed it made a pretty thick web around its self the other day and today I looked at its container and saw an old exoskeleton and a freshly molted spider! Its front legs have definitely gotten longer and it gained some new nice white markings.

The jumper is looking like it is most likely a male, which is great! I know you can barely see the spider in the picture, so I'll get some good pictures of it out of its web soon  Hope you guys enjoyed my post once again, and until next time, goodbye! :)

First E.decipiens Ootheca and Some More Awesome WC Insects!

 Hi Again Everyone! :)
A really cool thing happened yesterday..........my adult female Eurycotis decipiens produced an ootheca! It was very cool seeing her run around with it sticking out of her and when she finally got a mixture of spit and coconut fiber and stuck the ootheca a crevice on the piece of cork bark I have in there! This was my first experience of a roach producing an ootheca, so it was very exciting for me.
My family and I went to our property again at Woodhaven Lakes this Saturday and of course I was on the search! During the 4 or so hours I was able to spend time collecting, I found 4 more  D.elogatus which gives me a total of 6 currently, I also found a 2 inch long Geophilus vittatus( Diamondback soil centipede), a large female wolf spider which I showed pictures of in my last post, and a very beautiful Chlaenius tricolor. To add onto my recent collecting success, when I was walking past my window earlier today, I noticed a large P.audax on the screening! I'm really enjoying keeping a wider variety of insects! Enough said, here's some pictures!

A fact I found interesting on the soil centipede is that they have no eyes. It will be a very interesting pet considering they stay burrowed basically 24/7 and eat worms and insect larvae. I also found a smaller less impressive soil centipede but didn't bother taking pictures of it.Hope you guys enjoyed this post as always, and until next time, goodbye!
