MrCrackerpants Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Cool species. How do you keep them in their enclosure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Rousseaux Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 yep, not a single escape yet, but when I open the tank they I must be really attentive because they are quick and they climb all surfaces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. What type of set up do you have that keeps the babies in? Do you use Vaseline but have larger air holes? I have mine in a container with pin holes for ventilation and oxygen. They are reproducing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Rousseaux Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I don't use vaseline in any tanks but I think I'll probably start using it or teflon paint in some of them. At the moment, they are kept in a fauna box, dry pieces of dead leaves at the bottom and egg crates to hide. I put a towel between the top and the tank, so that there are no escape. The babies are kept with the adults Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Weird. I have also been doing this with a few of my enclosures. That little piece of fabric between the container and the lid keeps the bugs in. Thanks for the added info. Great species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
