Handling and lighting

This organism needs to keep a cycle of 12h daylight - 12h darkness. The best way to keep it easy for you and not worry too much is to build a box with a bulb and a timer. Here are some points to respect:

  • Use a “cool white fluo bulb”. Incandescent bulbs produce heat that could harm the organism in the end.
  • Keep a distance of 14 inches between the organisms and the light source.
  • Connect the light source to a timer program to switch on and off every 12 hours.
  • Keep the box in a room that the temperature will be around 19°C to 24°C (optimal T°=22°C)
