treespider Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hello all! I'm excited to be a part of this forum. I got into keeping beetles just earlier this year. I have a couple species of desert beetle I keep communally, and I'm also raising four Dynastes tityus larvae in hopes of breeding them as adults. I'd love to expand into some more exotic species as my experience grows. I'm also currently going back to school for entomology. I transfer to a 4 year university this fall and I can't wait to start my entomology classes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treespider Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Welcome to the forum and good luck with your studies! Thank you! I'm already gleaning a lot of great information for my current bugs and ideas to file away for future acquisitions as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck4th Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I like your pic. Do you keep any of those guys? P. vindex, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treespider Posted July 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Thank you! Yes, it is a P. vindex. I used to keep them, but I don't have any currently. I couldn't find a good source of dung for them, so they wouldn't breed. I might try again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck4th Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I know they prefer large ruminants, but I read a somewhat successful breeding report using a canine's droppings. They are supposed to be native here and I'd love to breed them myself. Btw Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
