Matt Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 They seem to like to hide out during the day under cover or in small burrows. The seem to eat anything they can catch. Forget about trying to breed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinegaroonie Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Oh wow, thanks. Yeah, I thought that they would be hard to breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acro Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Beautiful animals! Post up photos when they arrive please. As for breeding, don't forget about it, give it a try! Experiment, do something new. Just because no ones been able to breed them yet, does not mean you can't make it happen. There are many inverts that (at one point) would not breed in captivity. It just took someone to figure out the trick to get them to do so. To quote the character Ben Hawkins, from the show Carnivàle: Everything's impossible, 'til it ain't.
