Size: Maximum: A
mainly females species, 5cms as adults.
Breeding:
Parthenogenetic
Eggs: Hatch in
approximately 4 to 5 months, 90% success rate.
Food: Bramble.
Humidity: Medium to
High, mist twice per week.
Comments: A very hardy
species that move only at night. They will normally
'play dead' if handled. The young hatch out at 1cm
long and you can expect a 90% plus survival rate.
They will take around 12 months to reach adult hood
and will live for a further 12 to 18 months as
adults.
This species belong to the same family as
Heteropteryx Dilatata and enjoy much the same
conditions. They will require a pot of peat to bury
their ova in, although I have used moist tissue so
that I can locate the ova easily.
