So I got some more bamboo style test tubes, one specifically for my C. Subbarbatus as they are incredibly stubborn about tube changes. Hopefully they'll find the chambered set up more comfortable.
One thing I hate about these tubes is the chambered entrance being so tiny. So I soaked it in water and use a tiny knife to scrape it big enough for me to fit tweezers into the first chamber! Let it air dry over night.
Thankfully the 3 of them moved into the tube quite easily with just some nudges from a paintbrush. Easiest tube move of their life holy crap x-x
Gave them a cricket leg and some honey, hopefully they eat something, idk when the last time this colony ate as they haven't been foraging at all since their crash. At least it looks like one of the workers still has some food stores.
I also took a moment to get some photos of the P. imparis colony in the same type of tube as they started foraging like crazy all of a sudden!
Scott: Make everything sound like a threat. That man looked like he was about to piss himself, and all you did was ask him to step aside so that we could get past. Even when I actively try to sound threatening, no one takes me seriously.
Bucky: That’s because you look & sound like the personification of a warm hug.
hey um! with KOSA looking more and more closer to passing, email and call your reps to prevent it from passing! especially with ~3 days (as of the 2/23/2024 update on this post) left until KOSA is decided
bad internet bills is a helpful site with an easy to fill out forum that does not take long to complete
stop KOSA is also another good site w/ a prefilled out message you can send (with resources for those not in the U.S. too!), and much like bad internet bills, it has an easy to fill out form that does NOT take long to complete
EFF has a comprehensive analysis on the bill--and allows you to take action, helps you look up and contact your representative. your phone number is required, and this seems to be the longest of the three to fill out, but it is AS important as the rest
this is very important! because this will effect ALL of us, not just usamericans! this is something that has the power to irreversibly ruin the internet as a whole

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.
Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.
and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."
