Prosopocoilus giraffa keisukei Larva

Size male : 50 mm - 120 mm

Size female : 30 mm - 45 mm

Origin : Indonesia, Thailand , Malaysia

Ideal temperature is room temperature. Maximum 25°C. Humidity maximum 70%.

Please make sure that there are enough climbing possibilities, because the animals have difficulties to get up by themselves.

Ideal substrate is Flake Soil. Please make sure that the substrate is at least 25 cm high enough for the female to lay eggs. In addition, the box should hold at least 30l of Flake Soil. This species lays its eggs directly in the substrate, but sometimes also on wood. Here medium hard pieces are recommended. Alternatively, deciduous forest humus mixed with white rotten wood can be used. Raise the larvae in containers of 1-2 liters or together, but then plan up to 4l. Kinshi is also excellent. Pay attention to a good day-night rhythm.
