Some basics of phasmid breeding
- our detailed notes on how to successfully breed phasmids are an integral part of this care sheet
- keep only one species per cage. Informations on why and how to keep cultures seperate and pure
- use the full culture name with provenience affix. For example Trychopeplus laciniatus "Monteverde"
- if possible keep day temperatures below 28°C, a nocturnal temperature drop is natural and advisable
- do not spray too much, phasmids are no fish
