[QUOTE="francisco, post: 15566, member: 48"] Hello JAckson, Phyllium Siccifolium (linne, 1758) Locality: India,China,Malaysia,Phillipines Female size 65-98 mm MAles 29-41 mm eggs hatch in 4-5 months L1 nymphs are very active. MAke sure to secure every small crack from from where they can scape. they are good at it. SPray food plant lightly, to much water or big drops of water could cause the nymph to drown, they are also good at that. Food plant: Bramble(robus sp) wild black berries,Guava,Mango,Wax Myrtle,oak. Food needs to be change every 2-3 days to keep it good. Old food might just drop and smash the nymphs. Feed smaller leaves to the small nymphs so they can chew the leaves easily. Terrarium: 20"x 18"x 12". is a good size to keep several dozens of L1-L4 nymphs. As they grow they need more space or they will, chew on each other. Terrarium needs to have High humidity and good ventilation. Extreme humidity and low ventilation could cause high bacterial concentration and that could kill the nymphs too. Males need to be kept cooler since they mature first. I hope this help and if you have more questions please feel free to ask me. Regards Ft [/QUOTE]
