Predatory flatworms

[arachnoherp]

Im curious if anyone else keeps predatory land planaria, i currently have at least 2 specimens of bipalium kewense that fragmented from a specimen i got last year.

@Umbra has kept them. I personally think they're very cool, but I don't live in an area that has them and I don't have a source for them.

Theyre pretty common by my school especially after it rains, they only eat earthworms though

I haven't kept them, but I used to see them when I lived in Hawaii. Quite bizarrely fascinating creatures!

Theyre pretty easy to care for and if you find one best thing to do is cut it in half so if something happens to one you atill have the other

Omg they are so pretty compared to some of the parasitic flat worm species
