Hesse, a state in the heart of Germany, is characterized by a diverse biocultural landscape. From the wooded low mountain ranges like the Taunus and the Vogelsberg to the fertile valleys along the Rhine, Hesse offers a wide range of habitats for a variety of plant and animal species. The flora is marked by deciduous and coniferous trees in the forests, as well as typical Central European plants such as beeches, oaks, and chestnuts. The fauna includes a variety of species, including deer, wild boar, foxes, badgers, and various bird species like woodpeckers and owls. The people of Hesse have developed a close relationship with nature over the centuries, reflected in traditions such as the preservation of orchards and the protection of nature reserves. Despite challenges from land use, urbanization, and climate change, the protection and preservation of this biocultural diversity remain crucial for the future of Hesse and the well-being of its residents.
Some of my doodles from 2011. I call this sheet "Time Out". I didn't really think about them, but just let my mood run wild. They arose without thoroughness. I like to do that to create absurd scurrility.

💕🕸🕷💕 Oscar is my newest buddy. A tarantula of the genus Grammostola... not totally sure if it's a Grammostola rosea or porteri... or even a hybrid.🔍 I recently adopted him. He presents you his great fur using the super trendy water drop photography.😀💧🌈
Loki is the first at the waterhole. Her mother Arsinoë watches her and waits. Then Berenike comes sneaking in from behind and takes the coveted place.😜 Keeping in groups is a very special topic in leopard geckos. I wouldn't advise beginners!
In German literature, group housing is often recommended. But that's based on misunderstandings.
Leopard geckos are most often loners in nature. But there are also huge aggregations, in particularly suitable places.
In some cases, they already show signs of social behaviour, such as gaze following. But they also can be very brutal! You have to offer them plenty of space and hiding places and analyse their behaviour. It's very interesting!
In this video you can see that the geckos have a clear relationship to each other. If this were not the case, they would now vibrate with their tails. And then possibly make a small exchange of blows, or get along immediately. Every now and then this has to be clarified.💕
