Breeding solfugid(Rhagodes sp.)

[attenboroughii]

Hello all.
I have had solfugids for 4 years.
Before long,I will succeed in the captive breeding of Rhagodidae(Rhagodes sp.) came from Egypt.
I would like to share information on breeding.

very exciting to hear, we would love to hear about lifespan, keeping practice and other husbandry aswell !

Finally someone who can show the skeptics here that these animals live more than just a few months in captivity.
Welcome @attenboroughii, and amazing results! I've had only failures with Rhagodes, but I am more experienced with Paragaleodes.

Have you tried with our Canadian Eremobates?

Show 'em how it's done! I'm really impressed--every time I see CB attempts the babies seem to die around the third instar.

Nah, the seasonality of Eremobates is too complicated for me to replicate indoors.

Rhagodes lifespan is 2~4 years,or more.
Lifespan is decided after moulting to adult.
moulted adult male survives for 2 month. adult female survives for 5 month maybe.

I love Paragaleodes,too.
I have had semi-adult Paragaleodes sp. for 3 years.
so cute Solifugae

That's my experience as well with Galeodidae and Karschiidae - adult males do not live long, but I had adult females live close to a year after molting. It does not surprise me that adult Rhagodes have a shorter lifespan.

Yes. When I breed babies, the most important thing is food.
Its common green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata).
Maggots have been selling as bait for fishing in Japan. I make it emergence.

Also, I,m feeding at the right time. The sun spider holding poop after moult .

Look at the arrow symbol. Its a poop.
If you feed before defecation, They are probably going to die.
Like this. He is dying.

Its a maldigestion, I think.

I feed Solifugae as much as one likes.
In addition, I kept a constant temperature of 82℉, but it can breed without problems.

Is it alright if I write in Japanese?

 

[wizentrop]

This information is excellent, thank you.
I think writing in Japanese will be a problem - most of us here cannot read it, and translating using google leads to very poor results usually...

 

[Biollantefan54]

Your English is really good, I can’t wait to read how you are keeping them!

 

[attenboroughii]

I understand.

 

[Albireo Wulfbooper]

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photos with us! It is exciting to see your success

 

[Arthroverts]

This is fantastic documentation and information @attenboroughii, thank you for sharing it with us! Rhagodes is my favorite solifuge genus.

Thanks,

Arthroverts

 

[attenboroughii]

Please give me some time.
I translate a Japanese into English

 

[schmiggle]

@attenboroughii any updates? Not intending to rush you, of course.

If you could provide information on the Galeodes granti husbandry it would be wonderful looking to buy 1 sub-adult
