Hi again !

Sadly when I came back, few webs but mold everywhere, I really dont know where all this mold come from. I think I'll rehouse it in the cup I shown you, which have more holes to ventilate, and add a small RRR in it so I wont have to disturb it for a while.

I think the problem may be the wood you have used in there. I had some similar and it went mouldy almost immediately. Try using cork bark instead.

I made this enclosure, which I guess would be better, the wood has been disinfected in the furnace

As the mold only developed on the wood, I've not doubt now.

Edit. Done, I'll set it in a darker place which may help to setup, the wood comes from a vine I left 10 minuts at 240°C

(you can see the roach just above the bottle cap)

Was all that a good idea ?

Great news and yes, it looks much happier in the new container

And finally, it ended to grab a roach ! (as the larvae was so little). That was just the enclosure or the after molt period I think :)

Ehm I'd like to ask 2 more questions, can I add some sprintails if never mold show up ?
I've read on internet that the feeding rate was about twice a week, is that true or it's more like once a week ?

Thanks :)
