🛠️ Expert Care Guide

• Difficulty: Intermediate
• Humidity: 75%–85% (Requires a reliable hydration gradient)
• Temperature: 22–26°C (72–78°F)

🥗 Premium Diet

• Rotting Wood: High dependency on rich White Rot Wood as a primary food source.
• Calcium Boost: Constant access to limestone, cuttlebone, or crushed oysters to support their wide, segmented skirts.
• Leaf Litter: Enjoys soft, well-decayed leaves (Oak, Beech, Maple).
• Protein & Minerals: Supplement weekly with bee pollen, fish flakes, or specialized invertebrate powders.

💡 Pro-Tips for Success

• Tight Crevices: Like other flared species, they love pressing themselves into tight spaces—provide layered cork bark flats for security.
• Gradient Setup: Maintain a clear wet-to-dry gradient by keeping one side hydrated with Sphagnum moss while leaving the opposite side drier.
• Substrate Depth: Ensure 3–4 inches of substrate so they can easily burrow to regulate humidity during molting.
