Any and all advise is welcome when it comes to breeding idolos. I now have an adult pair and need to be ready when the time comes for them to breed..Thanks!

Can I have them when they die?

Wow, what a response to breeding...

I have to say mine are pets and get buried. Not sure what she plans to do, but a PM would be a better route.

I found a thread just about breeding Idolo's from a few years back (5 pages worth), Idolo Breeding. Seems one main trick is to increase the temperature to 100 degrees for mating. Best of luck.

100 degrees? Don't believe this.

Indeed that is what is said by several members in the thread I linked to, Idolo Breeding.No idea myself as I haven't had that species. Any other Idolo owners have any comments?

I have her enclosure at 90 degrees right now..His is a little lower. Bought some new lamps for them..And am throwing bbf at her like crazy..​

That sounds about right, however hornworm moths would fill her up faster, and a much longer distraction for him to jump on.

Any updates?

Anyone else breeding their Idolos?

Still haven't bred them. My male went all spastic on me one day and hurt himself pretty bad. Hes doing okay and I think I can still breed them. I also may have another adult male coming to me so if still have a chance. She is starting to call now..
