Hisserdude Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I'd use bark pieces, both laying on the ground and placed vertically to climb on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shevg Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 For nymphs or for adults ? You don't need a rotten tree ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think these require rotting wood, although if your enclosure was large enough, a big rotten branch/log would make a nice piece of decor.

Shevg Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 If you are talking about the size. What is the size of the container for 6 nymphs ? And for 6 adults ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think to start the nymphs off, a 20qt bin would be fine, with multiple feeding stations so they can easily find food. But as they start getting large I'd move them to something twice as large to get the biggest adults possible. With lots of vertical bark for them to molt from.

For some species I use a plastic milk/juice cap as a food bowl and put food in there, but for more picky species that don't like using bowls, I just place food straight on their substrate or hides, in corners of the enclosure or high traffic areas.

For vegetables I'd use lettuce, carrots, and maybe sweet potato. 6 hours ago, Shevg said: Do I need daylight lighting ? Probably not, they are a nocturnal species after all, but exposure to indirect daylight during the day would also be fine. 4 hours ago, Shevg said: How to distinguish a male from a female ? You probably won't be able to notice this until they are larger, but the last ventral segments on their abdomens will be much smaller on males than on females. Similar to how you sex Blaberids.
