I've got them housed in a moderately ventilated 5 gallon gasket bin with a few inches of sand/coco fiber substrate (mostly sand), which I'm keeping humid. I'm keeping them at around 75-85F°, and am feeding them dog food, fish food pellets, micro-roaches and dwarf white isopods.
Such a large and impressive earwig species, I hope to acquire a more consistently pallid, sand colored strain here eventually!
Thanks to Kyle at Roachcrossing, I now have true Euborellia annulipes, from Tuscaloosa, AL. My previous "annulipes" were actually E.cincticollis, and it's nice to actually have both now. 😄 Real annulipes have shorter antennae than cincticollis, and annulipes are a much more stout and chubby looking earwig IMO.
I've got them housed in a moderately ventilated container with a few inches of coco fiber mixed with a little sand, topped with a few small bark pieces. I'm keeping them humid, at around 75F°, and am feeding them dog food as the staple diet.
They are breeding quite well for me already, definitely seems like a good beginner's earwig. 😄
Another gift from Edwin at Ezeddies, I now have the "Tapir" morph of Cubaris sp. "Panda King". These have reduced grey coloration on the front half of their bodies, and though the patterning seems a bit variable still, most come out with barely any grey coloration on their front segments. Others just look like a slightly less patterned, normal "Panda King".
They are housed in a well ventilated enclosure with a substrate of coco fiber topped with sphagnum moss and leaf litter, as well as some bark hides. I'm keeping them moist, at around 75F°, and am feeding them dog food as their supplemental diet.
Needless to say, they are breeding quite well for me, it's hard to mess up with sp. "Panda King". 😆
Last but not least, I recently traded Tiller Dale for a new strain of Arenivaga floridensis from "Poinciana, FL". This strain is most similar to the "Ocala" locality IMO, though males seem to come out a bit paler, and the females are differently patterned as well.
I've got them housed in a moderately ventilated container with a couple inches of sand substrate, topped with leaf litter. I'm keeping a third of the sand moist, the rest dry, and have them at around 80-85F°. I'm feeding them dog food and fish food pellets as their staple diet.
A very pretty strain, the female has been laying ooths pretty regularly, and I have a subadult female about to mature (and will hopefully still have males alive to mate her when she does). So it's looking good as far as establishing a colony of them goes. 🤞😄
Well, that does it for this post, thanks for reading, hope everyone enjoyed, and I'll see you all next time! 😉
