I recently won a giveaway, and will be receiving a Euthycaelus colonicus as one of the prizes. I haven’t seen much info at all from the research i’ve done, other than generic keep a bit humid and give enough substrate to burrow, but i’d like a bit more info than that. Maybe from people who have actually kept these guys themselves.

Thanks!

My friend has two, I helped her sex them and buy them from a local vendor, but she never sees them. They are skittish and fossorial. I would keep them as I keep my other NW fossorials - plenty of dirt to burrow in, moist at the lower levels so they can burrow to where they feel comfortable.

Adult size is around 2.5"-3".

I have a euthycaleus norae. I couldn’t find anything on it when I got ir either, but I never see mine. It eats and stays burrowed. I keep the substrate slightly damp

They was labled in the past also as:
  • Hemiercus sp. VENEZUELA
  • Hemiercus inflatus
  • Schismatothele inflata
So you should also search with these names.
Further there is a older paper about keeping and breeding (only in german), that you can found HERE.
