Eleodes tricostata?

[Eduardo]

Has anyone bred E. tricostata? Here in Texas there is a lot of Eleodes diversity, and I am specifically attempting to breed E. tricostata. I am keeping the adults in an enclosure with a 60% rotten wood and 40% compost/soil substrate with large pieces of rotten wood. Has anyone had success with this species?
Thank you!

Thanks! Was he successful with a specific method? The adults aren’t picky eaters.

I just started keeping this species for the first time as of a month or two ago. So far I got some eggs and larvae on a similar substrate mix to yours. They seem to not be as prolific as other Eleodes spp., and I haven't reared any of the larvae to maturity yet, so I can't help much in terms of care info for this species specifically...

Thanks! This is my first time keeping these too, so I’ll let you know how it goes. Good luck!
