Theopompa servillei care

[meaganelise9]

I don't anticipate much here, but if anyone has any experience keeping Theopompa, let me know. As far as temp/humidity, I've read 25-27 degrees C with 60-70% humidity by day and 20-22 degrees C with 80-90% humidity by night. I've heard they are very picky eaters and often die off suddenly for reasons hard to figure.

I wish you all the best with these. I had a hatch of 40+. Have been told that tehy like it hot, that they like it dry but also they like it extremely humid as well.

Good luck with them and share whatever you find works, I really want to try this species again

No luck? Did you find there was anything in particular they liked eating? I think someone on the UK forum said firebrats (not that I know where to come up with those).

They happily took small fruitflies most of the time, othertimes they would run away from them and be dead within 10minutes lol
