I have three Pseudomops septentrionalis and I've been looking all day for a caresheet. Most of what I've found is you can keep them like P. nivea. When I look of that species, I can't find a care sheet on them either. I replicated the environment I found them in and I'm mostly concerned with diet and any sexual dimorphism they might have. Any help? :confused:

I found and kept nivea from my wood pile. I can't remember very well, seems I didn't do much. I kept them in a big deli of decaying wood. The immature ones couldn't climb but the adults were something to deal with! I'm thinking the same with this species. I used them as feeders for a while:8o .

I have huge colonies of both, as they make great feeders for small lizards.
They live in a mix of coconut bark and new zealand sphagnum moss. In a 10 gallon tank with a tight fitting lid I put about 3 inches of this mix, slightly damp first. I feed them apples and sometimes a little carrot or banana. Rarely anything else. Mist them very regularly and make sure to keep them lightly moist/damp. They can get dry on top but dont let that happen for too long.

Females are black winged with a reddish pronotum and pale boarders. Males are a copper or brownish color only with a pale boarder that is a little less of a boarder and the males can be slightly smaller as well.

I also keep them in 1 gallon hex containers I get at the container store for 2.50 that work out great, too.

Temps should be 70 to 85 or anywhere in between there.

That was very helpful thank you! It seems I have 3 females. I tried an apple on a whim and they flocked to it. :D
