Roshan Vignarajah Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I recently caught a couple Philoscia muscorum from my backyard and I was wondering about some tips for breeding them. I have heard they are particularly difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I've bred them, they aren't super difficult but do need very high, consistent moisture, lots of leaf litter, and they should not be kept that warm either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingerlakefeeders Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Ditto. To really thrive, they need mid to lower 60s and prefer an acidic substrate. They are often found in the vicinity of conifers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard they are particularly difficult I'll admit I never tried super hard but anyone pretending to have a long-term culture of that species also has a bunch of spaerotheriids they're breeding.

Yeagh, they're common almost everywhere in temperate climates across the globe. Probably a lot more common in North America since there are hardly any competing species.
