spideride Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 hi! my name is ridley, i'm all the way over in australia! i have been keeping native pie-dish beetles (helea sp.) for about a year now and am awaiting my first breeding pairs of golden stag beetles (lamprima aurata). i'm currently trying to get hold of a few other beetles like native flower and jewel beetles and a xylotrupes species, hopefully in upcoming months. i've owned several other inverts over the years too and i have a small collection of native reptiles! keen to be here! looking forward to learning some new stuff, hopefully contributing some of my own info (eg. i'm about to do a lot of experimenting with native hardwood flake soil), and meeting you all. any other aussies here, give me a shout, i'd really like to have other local keepers to talk to. beetles are very niche where i am, even as far as bugs go.

Hisserdude Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Welcome to the forum! I've kept and bred two of the US pie dish beetles (Embaphion muricatum and E.contusum), I've always wanted to keep the Helea spp., such a nice genus! Mind sharing pics and husbandry methods for those here on the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
