CARESHEET EURYCANTHA CALCARATA
Country of origin: Papua New Guinea
Food: Oak, Bramble, Ivy, Salal, ... (this species eats about everything, including kitchen paper, cardboard, wallpaper, but this is not healthy for the animals!)
Temperature: room temperature or higher is suitable
Humidity: above 50% is good for this species
Equipment: a wet surface with a jar of food plants and shelter (kitchen rolls, half coconut piece
or bark, ...) is suitable for this species
Sexing: after a few molts you can already distinguish the length of the ovipositor.
Breeding: Sexual culture (parthenogenetical can also, but that weakens your breeding)
Incubation period: 4-6 months
Number of molts: males molt 5 times, females 6 times
Age: these animals can be quite old, one year is no exception
Special behavior: During their defense postures, they can curl their abdomen so that they look a little bit like scorpions. If they really feel threatened they can give off a smell that stinks a lot.
This species is also very social, they often sit very close together with a big group.
But if you have to mutch animals,they can be aggressive towards each other. This
happens only when you really have a lot animals.
