Well when I got my tityus larvae I found s couple mjtes on them and O didn’t think much of it until I noticed that they all have blackspots on them, and quite a lot...they are late l3, is it possible that they can still successfully pupate?

Would prefer trade for other predatory invertebrates(tarantulas, some true spiders, assassin bugs**, etc). Can also sell for $35 + $16 priority or $28 express. 

I began fermentstion about 4-5 days ago and it smelled different at first but I checked on it today and now it smells earthy(not like sawdust). Is it ready? It’s a bit orange/golden in color, not the dark earthy brown. Is it ready? I fermented it a bit before and dried it after a while before...

I started up another batch and its been 2 days and the only difference is that it smells different...no extra heat, nothing. What went wrong? Should I restart the batch? 

Hi all, really looking to try and breed Lucanus elaphus. If you got any larvae/adults lmk, I’d definitely be interested!

Both wc adults, one male one female. Unfortunately no lag because they are wild caught but they should still live for some time. I mated the female already and she seemed very receptive so chances are high that she was fertilized. $40 for both plus $16 for shipping priority, but highly prefer...

I made some fermented substrate a while ago and managed to rear some tityus and pelidnota on it. I still have the substrate but it’s all dried out now and I was wondering if it’s still ok to use? Should I try and re-ferment it? I plan on using it with lucanus elaphus

I have 2 adults and 1 sub male vinegaroon. $30 for the adults and $25 for the sub, shipping $15 for priority or $25 for express. Would highly prefer to trade, especially for adult females, but I’m interested in trades for any others

I know they need rotten hardwood leaves but all I have now are coco fiber, fermented sawdust, rotten hardwood, and beech leaves. Would I be able to sustain the larvae with this?
