Key Characteristics & Care

  • Diet: While they will clean up general organic decay, they are renowned "slime mold eaters" and are frequently fed Physarum polycephalum.
  • Lifecycle: Females lay clutches of eggs in bark crevices or wood rot. The eggs start white and turn a deep, vibrant pink/red just before hatching.
  • Environment: They thrive in high-humidity enclosures with a deep, moist substrate (such as wood rot or bark) to hide and lay their eggs.
