Only if you have adult males.

Re: Eurycantha Calcarata - help please
yes
they are two adult pairs
I did see one of the males doing something that looked very much like he was biting the other guy's leg, so I separated them into two pairs
I'm assuming the females will be fine
what kind of temps do they need?
I gave them dried up grape vines and leaves
still cruising the web for more info, but I'm kind of busy with other stuff too
these came completely unexpectedlyrhea

No advice, but how cool
TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

According to the care sheet I'm looking at right now, room temperature or a little higher should be fine.

Also... Find out somehow if they're legal to keep...

Re: Eurycantha Calcarata - help please
I'm not really a bug fan... never really saw the attraction of stick insects, but if it's useful to anyone, here's an anecdote....
When I was about 10 years old I acquired a group of stick insects from the biology lab at school. I soon became bored (as 10 year olds do) so I decided to find out how stick insects react to alcohol...... I injected pure (as pure as you can get) ethanol into the anus of one large specimen.... quite a large dose too!
The results? The bug hung motionless from a twig, hanging by one foot, for several days. It then recovered completely, showing no long term adverse effects.
I can't remember if it ever sang 'Auld Lang Sine'.
Hey! I was ten years old!James.
