@JKim It's a Dynastes species so I suppose he'll just be a little funny looking. If he's physically good other than his horn then we're good. I may make some artificial pupal cells for the other ones about to pupate since they're in the same size/shape enclosure. I didn't think it was too...

Hey all, I just had a beetle pupate the last couple days and it seems it's horn is bent over. Will this resolve or will I just have a lopsided beetle? I'll see if I can get some pictures. It built it pupal cell against the edge of it's enclosure.

Anyone have substrate available to buy? Got a few larvae who have eaten through most of theirs.

Update for those who are interested! They have now been rehoused in a mixture of the edible compost and crumbled up rotten oak (as small as I could manage without any tools, mostly into a powdery dust just not entirely, it was pretty well rotted). I packed the majority of it down and left the...

Owned various insects before, but this will be my first time raising beetles from their Larval state. Just wanted to see if there's anything I'm missing in my care. Right now they are in these small cups, which I will be upgrading soon so I can better maintain humidity (the small cups seem to...

Heyo! Been into inverts for a while, but just now getting into beetles. Grew up catching and raising bugs and have now recently gotten into inverts as a hobby. I have a handful of Blue Death Feigning Beetles as well as some Sleeper's Elephant Beetle Larvae. Fingers crossed with the larvae since...
