Lucanus Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Whoa nice pic! Thank you Here's a little update. 4 specimens have emerged so far (unfortunately, one of them has a genital prolapse) and more are coming on their way so I'm expecting to see all emerge within next month.

LarvaHunter Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 What do you feed yours? I was using dog food but it got moldy quick, now I use cut up superworms. Can you tell me the minimum container that I can use for breeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 What do you feed yours? I was using dog food but it got moldy quick, now I use cut up superworms. Can you tell me the minimum container that I can use for breeding? I'm currently keeping mine dormant, but I used to feed my adults some dog foods, and occasionally pupae of various beetles. The smallest container I used for breeding this species was a 32 oz deli containers. You can probably find them at local restaurants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 My largest H. illatus male emerged two days ago (consequently, my largest female illatus emerged on the same day). I checked on him today and he looked less fragile than he was before so I took some pics of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucanus Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Please, tell me kindly, how you made them lay eggs? Today I have 3 pairs from Arizona nd they dont make eggs. All I did was placing them in grounded oak. They laid eggs in this substrate without any problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
