Hysterocrates Fans. Best $50 i ever spent

[Stu Macher]

If anyone sees somebody selling a female sp. "Hercules", do yourself a favor and buy it.

A few months back I saw a 4" female going for $50. It was listed as undescribed but the importer was calling it Hercules. I talked to the vendor and he said it's undescribed and the importer told him they were calling it Hercules. A friend of mine coined the term "fakecules"

I'm not going to speculate on what i have, but it's likely a Niger Delta. Maybe someone better versed can confirm.

She is going to be a formidable tank one day. Sorry for the pictures. I was able to sneak up on her a little before she meandered back to her burrow.

H gigas are perfect for water setups as they will go underwater for a while.

What about your species?

I've seen them partially submerged. A water setup would be nice if you have the space.

"Fakecules" is definitely the right term, at least they didn't charge an insane amount of money for it. Like the other vendors that charge you a dumb amout for a "fakecules"

I agree. I wouldn't spend an arm and a leg for an undescribed sp. I should've prefaced this post by saying (buy if it's cheap lol) Hysterocrates are pretty cheap anyways

My intention was not to make light of Your recent acquisition.
Well done, A Great Genus
Just an observation.

Enjoy Your Hysterocrates sp.
Keep A.B. Updated on Her Escapades & Excavations Etc.
More Pics as Well.

You're good Brewser, no worries!

I will post more pictures. I placed a good sized water bowl in there and it's been half full by the morning. So it's clear to me she's taking a midnight bath when nobody's watching

The gigas and laticeps are water junkies too. I've been in the process of moving everyone into temporary enclosures (quite a feat) because I'm moving about 1000 miles away. I may create a post about that.
