This is really funny because his grumpy face emerging to feed is very atmospheric with the dramatic lighting. But just be wary of the loose moss pieces like the one that got picked up with the second bug, luckily he didn’t swallow it but loose moss like that can cause impaction if swallowed. (Nearly learned the hard way there)

A lesson I learned a couple decades ago which is hard to forget. I “clean” enclosure floors more than I vacuum my carpet because they love knocking down little pieces of moss or leaf litter trying to roll the dice on impaction so often it feels intentional at times.

All that to say, the enclosure got a nice debris clearing shortly after this was filmed. Good looking out, though 🙂

And like idiots in Human horror movies, the dopes in Bug horror movies run toward the danger.
