For the eggs:
Provide an incubation box. We recommend our micro-perforated boxes with lids. Then several possibilities:
- Place some paper towel at the bottom of the box, moisten it and place the eggs on top. Be careful of the risk of mold.
- You place a slice of floral foam at the bottom of the box, moisten it and place the eggs on top.
- You place vermiculite at the bottom of the box which you moisten and place the eggs on top.
For young people:
Either you raise them with the adults (be careful when changing food, the young are small and fragile) or you raise them separately. You will therefore have to use the same model of terrarium as the adults but of a smaller size.
The floor of the terrarium will be covered with damp paper towels to maintain good humidity and make it easier to maintain the terrarium.
For adults:
Minimum (recommended) height of the terrarium: 2.5 times the size of the adult female.
The size of the terrarium will depend on the number of specimens. This species is small and does not need a very large terrarium. For example, in a 30 x 30 x 30 terrarium, more than ten adults can be kept. It is important to have sufficient height for moulting.
In addition, the terrarium must be partially ventilated . For example, with only one side made of mesh and the others made of glass. This will help maintain sufficient humidity.
The floor of the terrarium will be covered with damp paper towels to maintain good humidity and make it easier to maintain the terrarium.
Dares philippinensis remain hidden during the day, so bark and hiding places can be placed there.
