Heterochaeta care?

[mantisfan101]

I just recently acquired an l2 heterochaeta sp. I’ve heard that they are a bit difficult to care for and I’d like some care tips/info on them. Thanks!

I notice they don't eat as much as other. I don't find them hard, just little annoying trying to get them to eat.

I had them for a few months, and I have to say, keep food always available, and make sure they have near perfect temps and humidity. All of mine died on a very humid day, and even though they were kept cool, they still died.

So low humidity, moderate temps, and non-heavy feeders basically? Sounds relatively simple enough, it'll definitely be less costly for me to feed them. How does breeding work for these guys? Is it difficult or the relatively easy?

Mine are 40-50% humidity at 75 degrees. They eat a lot. THey are skittish so not bothering them will help them out.
