Which would you choose?

Have you ever thinking about taking a trip and collect some wild ones

It would be a trip to remember and really healthy beetle as well

theory is they should produce up to 100+ healthy eggs

I wouldn't want to to smuggle them back into the United States in that way. The trip itself would be awesome though! How much does a major wild caught pair of this species go for?

male size 100mm & undetermined female sizedepend on general wc size/$500 a pair is the cheapest price

$3,000 is fair price for a pair of male size 150mm & female medium to large size

Compair to a pair of WC 100mm Dorcus alcides price $6,000 in Japan

I'd say just get a cheap one until you know this species better (the offspring can easily grow bigger than the dad)

If you think you are already an expert in beetle breeding, then go for the larger one.

Or if you are not breeding it, then look for a dried specimen. Should be a little cheaper.

 
Okay guys, I found a 114mm pair with a perfect horn at a great price. Should I grab it or wait until I find some bigger sizes? What would you do?

 
Also, if the choice was between a 114mm pair with a thin horn or the same size with a thicker horn that curves in a little bit, which would you choose? Let me know!
