Hello everyone,
last Saturday, 9th of December, I have got an Orange Spotted Assassin Bug (Platymeris sp Mombo). I have purchased it in a show in Hamm (Germany). I have decided to buy just one to learn first about its needs before having a full colony. I think it was well fed when I got it cause it pooped a liquid stuff the next day.
My first question is whether they can they live alone?
I placed it in a terrarium (30x20) with coconut fiber (1cm) and several hiding spots (at the moment just cardbord). I have added a heat cable around.
However, it has never eaten till now (mealworm and darkling beatle were provided). I am thinking the heat cable is not enough.
To help, I would like to transfer it in smaller 1L (32oz circa) plastic container. It is higher than wider though. I would add inside coconut fiber and cardboard for hiding and walking. The heating will improve surely.
Any advice? Fell free to tell me whether I am doing something really wrong and why
