Hemiscolopendra marginata cohabitation ~experiment

put twelve together yesterday afternoon.  i only saw one interaction and they both took off, but not in *too* agitated a fashion. they definitely aren't nearly as cool with each other as mutilans but not as ticky seeming as some of the mating testings i have done. should be interesting

they are set up in a sort of underground apartment setup. i buried 15 or so inverted containers to the point their "tops" are just barely exposed. each container has a hole cut (and flame smoothed) in the "top" and another hole cut near the rim of the container. i expect a bit of cannibalism but if i can get 4-6 females to hole up stably and have a couple semiwandering males to keep them in sperm i will be pretty happy.  collecting the potential offspring will be a bit of a trick though

what are you feeding them? i use termites. i know you have a species or two there, look for a peice of rotten wood with them in it and lay it on the top of the substrate in your enclosure. that might help keep down cannibalisim.

little live crickets,  bigger dead crickets, and phoenix worms.  going to add some wax worms later today and soon will be culturing lobster roaches to feed them, also
