P Metallica I'm thinking male

Tj max $15 has a seal button at the top, could drill some holes and have a nice arboreal enclosure

Looks like they only pupate when alone not while in a group....performance anxiety? Guess they're too shy to pupate in front of their friends I don't pupate in public either

Can't argue with that logic

I may have put too many holes but the beads don't stay very long before evaporating

Super worms don't pupate though

That's its enclosure zoomed out, if that gives you a better idea of size.

I think whenever mine fully matures I may offer to let people send their males for breeding.

Yeah, waxworms are low in protein though ,that's why I only feed my Ts wax worms once in a while, I figure it's the equivalent of feeding a kid ice cream and chips all the time. They'll get big for sure, but not healthy.

Oh, I was told by the breeder that the 50dram vial was big enough

Not new to Ts Usually just feed my Ts crickets, beetles, roaches and wax worms once in a great while as a treat. Just recently started giving them meal worms.

No water dish, slightly wet substrate and I misted the leaves twice Yeah I just did two mists, enough to get some water beads

She was just holding it, I came home from work and she's dropped it now though. Perhaps I'm misinformed but I was told that with P Metallica's you should mist the leaves in their enclosure so they can drink off of them. I'm also seeing information saying not to get their enclosures too wet...

Lol!!! I wasn't too worried because it's not like she can suck it up through her fangs or anyting

Male? Second opinions?

So I just got a p Metallica, I drilled cross ventilation into its enclosure and did my best to get all of the holes Smoothed out with a file. However it looks as though she's managed to find a piece that I missed and has it in her fangs. It's been just sitting there for a couple of hours, I'm...

I know! its fun to watch them do it.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, looks like she dug it up and ate it.

I considered that before but I always figured it would kill the worm. Ill try to dig out the worm, my smithi is pretty chill and lets me do whatever and doesnt seem to care. Off topic but i I'm pretty excited, I have a P.metallica and an A. Chalcodes arriving tomorrow!!

yeah, i change up their prey a bit.
