Got me two P. Liosomas

[Bob]

I bought two Parabuthis Liosomas today from Gold Blooded Reptiles. One is gravid. Any pointers on the gravid one ? I have them on dry gravel. Both ate right away.

I am thinking of getting a couple of these myself. I would also like to know how to keep this species. I am gonna search for care on them and I will post what I find.

First off, you're going to want to give them some sand. Invertcare.com has some pointers on raising the adults, as for the young, I have no idea. I've heard that this genus can be tricky, though others have had success with P. trans young by giving them a substrate to burrow in and plenty of humidity.

If you give them enough consolidate substrate they will may a nice burrow in it. Both of mine have.

I keep mine dry with a shallow waterdish.
