Habitat Too Small? - Blue Death Feigning Beetles

I’m beginning to wonder if that’s what was coming out of the end of it. It was white and worm like. I have a picture of the beetles on its back in the cup. You can kinda tell there is something going on with the rear end. Goodness I hope that the others don’t have the parasite. Thanks so much for all your help and knowledge. I ordered three more that I hope will be here to add to the terrarium before Little Man’s Birthday!

Yeah, that sure doesn't look right. That kind of looks like my beetle did afterward and the larvae that came out of it were tiny white maggots. Hopefully the rest of them and your new ones will be fine.

Just as a precaution though I would keep the new ones separate from the other ones for at least a couple weeks just to be on the safe side.

Oh I didn’t even think about keeping them separate. That a really good idea. I’ll get something set up for the new ones to be in for a few weeks! You’re a blessing. Thanks for everything!
