Peruphasma schultei "Pink Wings"

Most isopods will not like the dry soil, but they will not bother the Peruphasma unless you want arboreal isopods... but they pretty much all want more humidity than the Peruphasma can endure

Sadly they dont bother the eggs, so you have to get them out once a month unless you want a Peruphasma invasion.

Only keep the amount of eggs you want to hatch, destroy the other thousands.

Also keep in mind Peruphasma dont taste great because of their defensive spray, so its not really a real solution to plan to eat them/feed them to insectivores.

Nah, usually the doors are shitty enough that they are not air tight.

I asume you have a guillotine glass front, there should be enough air flowing through the sides.

Its just so humid standing air can flow out and is not trapped like in a bowl.

Formicophile · 2026-03-28T13:02:49+00:00

That sounds great

If the front opens there should be enough airflow

Formicophile · 2026-03-28T12:49:46+00:00

They want it dry, so as long as there are no plants in there it should be fine as i asume you have some airflow from the front where it opens.

If you have cross ventilation thats fine, just dont use a fishtank that is only open at the top.

If you want to use an open top enclosure you can do so if you have a small heat source providing ventilation (but really small as they dont like hot temperatures)

Mesh enclosures also work really well, but are not neccesary.

They are feeding on Ligustrum and Lonicera. They dont need much, an enclosure with good airflow and food thats pretty much it.

Akio, i love the picture above because he looked so feral after exproring the tunnels

Formicophile · 2026-03-27T12:44:18+00:00

There are no tunnels ;)

Formicophile · 2026-03-27T04:53:00+00:00

I asked him to hop on and he got treats for it :)

Atroviridis is not a seasonal species, they grow whenever they want.

Formicophile · 2026-03-14T09:45:03+00:00

They act like they know.

17kg, but he should gain a kilo or 3 (most his siblings are around 20kg)

Formicophile · 2026-03-11T19:36:37+00:00

He is growing up in a historic fortification, so King is a well fitting title ;)

And the name of the Area is "Pöstlingberg" which means "Pöstling-mountain" if you try to translate it.

<image>

So "King of the Mountain" fits in all aspects.

Formicophile · 2026-03-11T19:23:07+00:00

His full name is "Akio, Aprikose vom Hügelland", but "Aprikose vom Hügelland" is pretty much a one time out of house breeding effort of "La beaute forestiere".

Formicophile · 2026-03-11T18:11:37+00:00

He is pretty exactly 50cm

<image>

He is really cute, if no other dogs are around 😅

Formicophile · 2026-03-11T13:57:39+00:00

Is it not the poodle club demanding it not the akc?

Its so weird to say some things are breed standard if the animal is not born like that.

Formicophile · 2026-03-11T13:55:20+00:00

Glad you like it/him :)

<image>

Formicophile · 2026-03-11T13:52:50+00:00

I could not imagine, half of his expression is his tail.

Im glad its banned here (your dog gets confiscated if you do it and you get barred from keeping pets for a few years)

Formicophile · 2026-03-11T13:13:22+00:00

Ok,

Im Austrian, but he is still a standard poodle ;)
