Yesterday, I got a Cryptoglossa variolosa (black death feigning beetle). I have 3 other beetles, 2 smooth death feigning beetles and 1 blue. I put the new black one in a temporary enclosure just to be safe.
How long should I leave it in the temporary enclosure before introducing it to the tank with my other 3 beetles? How do I know if it's sick? It's been walking around, sleeping, and it ate some washed organic grapes.
It seems to move somewhat slowly, but otherwise seems fine. No leg twitching, can flip itself back up if it falls on its back (it had slipped on some cardboard tubes in the enclosure). Any insight?
