JunkaiWangisme Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I just got a male and 2 females and they are so adorable! Anyone have any tips on breeding them? I can seem to find anything online. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Well obviously keep them separate, mate them like you would mantids, and be aware that eggs may need seasonal changes in temperature and humidity to induce consistent hatching, and can take upwards of a year to incubate...

JunkaiWangisme Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 How does the seasonal thing work? Like do I deep freeze it or just put it in the cooler? And how dry/moist should it be? I can’t find any distinctive data on the internet, it’s all a bit vague. I keep the females separated but I don’t know how long I can leave the male with one. It seems to be really afraid of the female (jumps away etc. and doesn’t get remotely close) but the female is really chill and don’t do anything aggressive.

Hisserdude Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I don't think you want them that cold, more like in the low 60s in the winter... As for the humidity changes I do not know how exactly they should be set up, I know @Dynastes is one of the few who have bred this species before.

JunkaiWangisme Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Okay. Hope I can get more info. Low 60s isn’t very cold though. Both my females are laying right now so I’m hopeful I can experiment with some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Maybe 50s, you should really check where they were collected and just check the winter temps there for an idea of how cold it gets, (albeit it'll be a little warmer underground where they're buried).

JunkaiWangisme Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Okay. I got the collection data and I will check that. Hope I succeed. When should their dry/wet periods be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, probably gonna wanna look into the weather of their locality for that information, I'd assume it'd be the most humid in the fall and then the spring though.
