GeorgeInverts Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Does anyone have experience with these? August ooths from WC adults have hatched, but the literature on their care is scarce/nonexiestent. Would love to get a breeding colony established because the adults would make perfect sling food.

stanislas Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I have a well established colony of this species. At first I kept them too moist. I almost lost the colony at that time. After that I cranked up the temperature and start keeping them nearly bone dry. Some misting every few days, sometimes a bit of water of water in a corner. Carrots, fish food, slices of apple... Cocopeat and crushed dried oak leaves. And that made the colony thrive. I now have taken away the heat source and I keep them at room temperature. They do great. So my conclusion is that these critters prefer a rather dry habitat with occasional mistings. Their reproduction accelerates with higher temperatures, but room temperature (and likely below that) works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
