Megaphobema velvetosoma

[stonemantis]

I am writing up a caresheet on this species and am wanting some input from owners of this species:

Adult Size (females and mature males)
Humidity
Temperature
Burrowing activity (or lack thereof)
Tempermant
Local info

I just want to make this as accurate as possible so useful input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

Don't mean to offend, but why are you writing a caresheet for this species, when you don't know these things?

I think he was looking for other people's "Input"

No offense taken. The reason I am writing this caresheet is for educational purposes so, useful input is appreciated.

Having said that, I have already documented the answers to the questions above from my experience. I just wanted some useful input from owners of this species. Accuracy is important.

I heard somewhere they grow up to 8". I keep mine warm and damp, like my T. blondi. She doesn't burrow, and is usually out in the open. She's prone to running into her hide when I open the tank and resisted my attempts at handling her, but is otherwise fairly docile. I witnessed the defensive kicking usually exhibited by M. robustum, but this was a one-time-only thing.

Was that helpful?

Yes, very. I'm going to add that to my sheet. Once complete I will add names as references and personal notes for all the help.
