Some of my gems

[Elias]

No indeed. I thought they'd be lower. As far as i know lower temperatures often result in bigger adults. But your temperatures are clearly working well so that's not always true then i guess.

Welcome, nice beetles

[Lichess]

Hi and thank you very much

[René Verheij]

Already learning a lot from you .
Increase the temperature seems to be key here .
Lot's of nice stagbeetles also!
And some i didn't know before.

Today exactly one year ago we started with beetles and it exploded

Compliments, it looks very good big and healthy beetles .

[Lichess]

Thank you so much for your words of appreciation. I try my best
My beetle hobby has long since surpassed the level of passion, now it's bordering on madness

I very much enjoyed your gems, and some very interesting species! I recently got some Rhaetulus crenatus boileaui. Would the breeding be comparable to R. crenatus crenatus you think?

[Lichess]

Thank you very much. A Czech friend recently had this subspecies available, and I also got my Rhaetulus crenatus crenatus from him.
From what I've read, they all have similar preferences. It's certain that they require white rotten wood for breeding.
You have to be careful with humidity during the pupal stage.

Very nice!

Would love to breed Megalorhina harrisi.
Maybe in the future with more knowledge of the species.
