"Can" vs. "should" are two different things. A chicken from a store being either cooked and/or missing all of the ruffage that feathers provide doesn't constitute a healthy whole diet, and they are frequently more expensive than something bred for animal consumption rather than people consumption.

If referencing the spot that they decided to plow under for no decent reason, yes.

@carltoncarnivores Yep. That destroyed me when I went up there and saw it. "New water lines"..... Was a great Racer spot. Found Rattle snakes up there as well.

No such term likely applies to plants that just process whatever ends up in the pitcher.

It's a plastic tent, humidity is maintained on its own. Pests happen, that's a fact of life, it's just finding the solution that works for whatever in question has popped up and using it when the problem shows up.

@carltoncarnivores yeah i got a Cactus collection and mealybugs is the pain of my life, going with neem oil now. It kinda helps but they always returns. Good thing i spot them before they get too many on the Plant.

Unless you use a systemic or physically scrape them out of the roots you will not get rid of mealies. They found a number of my tubers and Sarr seedlings, everything got soaked with systemic stuff.

@@carltoncarnivores i kinda against symetic stuff, due to i have them out in the green house during the summer time. I dont want it to infect the bees and butterflies that visit the green house. But those root mealies sure is annoying to say atleast....i hear you on the tubers but they seem to love Cactus roots as well...didnt had them in my sauromatum nor Amorphophallus yet ....😅

If it's a relatively small species with unevenly sized glands, and pale purple, relatively sparse flowers, should be liniflora and seeds should occur on their own (unless the plants are completely undisturbed so the pollen isn't going anywhere, but that's hard to manage).

@carltoncarnivores thanks for the info. I'll take a closer look at the glands later today

@carltoncarnivores any tips for collecting the seed? The first couple to ripen popped before I got to them.

Unless you're watching daily and harvest the pod before it fully dries out, it will invariably pop open. However they usually open facing upward so the seeds don't spill until they're disturbed, so if you can get underneath the pod without jostling it you can usually catch seeds falling as you pull it off the stalk.

Unfortunately where I live, there are no herps about at this time of year.

This is not something I've tried measuring. They're not meant to be filled completely.

Friend, you can’t control a knee-jerk reaction…and also no you are not going to injure them by avoiding a bite. At most they might lose a couple of teeth which they are built to deal with on a regular basis. It’s not at all a serious thing. This snake also did chew on me in clips posted to other media.

If you have the ability to drive you have a chance to see them. I don't know how many cross the roads on Mt. Graham where the drive is easy but they're frequently seen in the Chiricahuas if you have a vehicle that can make it up there (which, if mine made it, doesn't take too much).

Envious of anyone that lives where they do; this is still not a species I've been able to see in the wild. And just about wherever they live, you likely also have gray-banded kingsnakes.

@@carltoncarnivores if you make it to Texas Hill Country sometime, would be happy to take you out to go look for some.

I would be extremely suspicious of anything labeled as pure species seeds. I cannot give recommendations for a climate I don't live in but I would strongly not recommend dealing with seeds outside whatsoever.

I got it from a one-time source who was establishing a seed-grown colony in the US. There's no one tissue-culturing i that I am aware of.

@@carltoncarnivores ah ok too bad. also here in europe nobody got it. as its extremeley endangered i only want IV or vegetative cloned plants. if you someday find someone who could export it for you, i would be really interestes to establish it here in europe for cultivation

No.

Yes but at this point I don't have this species, it did not survive the last winter.

Utricularia are one of those groups that, like Drosera...I could not do a video on the whole genus, it's just too much. But eventually there will be vids on specific species, once I get them growing happily again and in bloom.

@@carltoncarnivores that’s exactly what I meant. Although, now that you mention it, I wish you did have access to all 200+ species to highlight. 😄 Thanks for considering the suggestion. 🤙

U. alpina is a species that already has a video however.

Pitcher structure is not the primary let alone sole defining factor between most species in the Indochinese group. There's a reason I stress leaf shape, indumentum, etc. in these videos as well because those are more stable and critical traits. However as an average kampotiana does not produce the same level of globose structure as thorelii, variant populations considered or not. Species names also are never capitalized, only higher taxonomic ranks.

I don't grow thai, would not be able to do a direct comparison. However habitat preferences and indumentum are distinct between the two, which is about as significant as the differences between some other Indochinese taxa.

Unfortunately, what's actually needed is watch hours. The YT system requires both a certain number of subscribers and a much, much higher number of annual watch hours in order for me to get any usable value from the views, so figuring out how to get people to keep watching all the way through is the challenge.

It's going to be a long time before I have a mature enough lowii to be worth doing a video on. They're immensely slow and hate my summers.

By and large, they are far more uppity than your average corn snake. They share more attitude with their relatives the common ratsnakes (obsoletus, alleghaniensis, quadrivittatus) just as they do their build.

I only showed I think two spiders, the tarantula and wolf spider...harvestmen are completely harmless and nonvenomous.

All Nepenthes are woody as they age. The definition of liana (which is nearly the whole genus) is a woody vine. The sturdiness of tenax is not from being woody, it's from the rigid overall structure of the stem and its short stature.
