Thanks for the temps, so if i keep the nest chamber at 25c and the hunting area at like 25 - 28c.
How do you keep the Ytong moist? do you drill a hole in it and pour water into this?

could you mail me pictures of your set up?

Thanks again,

G

The arena should be about 22-24°C I think. Otherwise it would be to hot.
The arena can be dry as hell if you want, but not the nest.

The pics are a little old.
The Ytong is in here. In there are also Diacamma spec..
I keep the Ytong moist with water i simply spray it with, thats enough.
In my basin are many more insects but enough of that.

Baumarkthammer, nice setups. i bet they love it in there, haha. do the Diacamma sp. and the Harpegnathos ever predate eachother?

@abz: Diacamma are very nice and easy in holding. But are as big as Harpegnathos, which aren´t small at all.
You can get them instead.

@undercoverAnt: If the Diacamma get to close to the Harpegnathos, they get a short bite and the Diacamma run as fast as they can. I never saw that they fought.
