[QUOTE="Grapple_Apple, post: 345315, member: 11746"] Toxodera are extremely difficult to keep and nothing like the species commonly kept lol. They are a completely different caliber of difficulty. To start they need a specialized diet of pretty much exclusive Lepidopterans. They need a constant stream of near 100% humidity and very high ventilation, as well as an extremely large mesh cube to molt and grip onto successfully for their even more complex molts as they have multiple protrusions on their body. Temperature would be one of the easier things as they aren't highland or go into diapause. If you ever think about keeping them you better already have a stable source of clean and parasite free moths and butterflies of varying sizes. Even highly proficient hobbyists are going to struggle unless you happen to live in Malaysia with them lol [/QUOTE]
