Very sweet, Bob!

Now tell me...are they easy to keep and maintain, or are they more difficult :?

I'd like to start with phasmids, and I like these a lot, but I'm afraid I haven't got the knowledge to keep them :8o

I only have two. About 20 eggs that are not hatching yet. Also have 30 Giganteum waiting to hatch.
They are easy to raise if you have a food source. I use Oregon blackberry that is growing next to my fence. Mist once a day and keep at room temp. They lay eggs at about 6 tp 8 months of age.

Hard to find in the US.

Is it really necessary that they need circulating air ( a fan should be placed in there tank) :confused:
That's what I have read in the books :?

Blackberry won't be any problem, as I live in a very green environment ;)

No need for the fan. Some hatchlings refuse to eat and fans are used to simulate natural settings to get them started. Don't take any special care but I did have an adult die after a bunch of screeming kids saw it in a pet store I was showing it at. I think stress will kill them..kind of like parents with teenagers !! ( I have three)

Hey Steven......your English is getting a little to good!!

Peter Clasen and Orin Mcmonigle wrote a great phasmid book called "ghostes of the trees" . worth buying if you can find it. Peter sells is at www.bugsincyberspace.com

sorry I forgot to answer. I actually got these from a friend who was going through a divorce and had space problems. I need to call him and see if he is ready to start again. He wrote the book with another friend called "Ghost of the trees" Must have if you are into stick insects.

One of them molted yesterday :)
I didn't know that they eat their old skin, until I saw it munching :p

Can I already find out if they 're male or female :?

As I can see now, it's a male and a female :D
