Suctigera coleoptrata


Very neat little guys and fun to watch. Just be very careful as they desiccate very easily! They like dubia nymphs BTW.

John, I can get some for you as they are pretty active for the next few weeks here in Spokane. All i need to do is post an add on Craig's List and people will catch them for me.

I'm keeping one of those! What I'm doing with mine is basically a large(Very very large) container used to be from cheese balls(cleaned out-- obviously) poked 4 holes(one on each side-- i guess for minimal ventilation to keep humidity in?). I put in two crickets after a week it ate them. Now I put in two rolly pollies. I saw it ate one. Ill be getting some crickets tommorrow. I see that t hey don't eat cricket legs. So may wanna take those out.
