B giganteus


Recommended Posts

I've had a colony of giganteus for a few years now and it's population seems to wax and wane dramatically. At one point overrun and now I probably only have 10 adults and a decent number of nymphs. This has happened before but I never hammered down the cause. Enclosure is a sterility bin about the size of a 20 gal  with maybe 4 inches of substrate with lots of cork bark.

What does the substrate consist of? I believe a substrate of rotten wood and dead leaves is supposed to be vital to the health of these guys.
