I've not heard of vogti being found any further west than the area around Brackettville. Yeah....its not Davis. Its closer to central TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Th thing with this species is you'll never see them outside a monsoon season. You have to hit the spot right after it gets a heavy rain or you wont have any luck. Also, larvae often starve and die if you change out their substrate (like many other Megasoma species) so couple of people who tried them lost their culture this way.

DynastesDee Posted July 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 1. Do you put the larvae together in a large container? 2. When they turn L2 do you put 1 in each individual container separately? 3. Can you filter out the frass and mix the old substrate with new substrate without any problems?

I was told its best to just move the eggs to the enclosure you'll keep them in until they turn into adults with no substrate change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
