Origin Brazil

Ideal temperature: Room temperature, max. 22°C. Humidity max. 70%

This species is night active. Make sure you have enough options to stay upwards, because getting up by themselves is difficult. Beetles may die after a couple of hours on their back!

Ideal breeding substrate: Flake Soil. Make sure that the minimum height is 25cm so the female can lay eggs. Additionally the box should have a minimum capacity of 25l for the flake soil + room to crawl and feed. Female need a big amount of Substrate to lay their eggs sufficiently.
