Hisserdude Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I have had these for a few months now, and they seem to be breeding quite well. I have them in a container with a mix of coco fiber, zoo med jungle mix, and some calcium sand. They are doing well on a diet of dog food, and carrots. I keep most of the cage dry, and have a little moist spot. Here are some pics. Adult. Adult. Adult drinking water droplets. Larva. Hope you like the pics!

Hisserdude Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 These guys are doing great! My setup now is coconut fiber and sphagnum moss as the substrate, (the moss is really just for looks, you could just use coconut fiber plain). The larva pupate well in small containers with moist, not wet, compressed coconut fiber. They dig to the bottom, make a pupal cell, and pupate. Here are some pics!
