Well great celebicum to start with and it looks as if you have both sexes too ! Razz

That would definately work for P. giganteum .

Do you just keep the celebicum and the tiaratum ?

There are at least two male P celebicum nymphs in the group Oli. Smile

So far just the leafs, ET`s, and some Jungle nymphs.

I am sure it will expand though! Any suggestions?? Laughing

- Dares validispinus - Small species - Good Camouflage .

- Phenacephorus cornucervi - Impressive species - Very twig like .

- Oreophoetes peruana - Only eat Ferns - Preferably , Dryopteris filix-mas - Nice Colours .

- Haaniella muelleri - Rather like Jungle nymphs but both brown - very hardy .

- Paramenexenus laetus - Bright green - practically bulletproof .

- Parectatosoma mocquerysi - Only eat Hypericum - Can exude a red dye which can stain the skin , sometimes hurts a bit .

- Peruphasma schultei - Only eat Privet - Stunning jet black colour with red wings .

Did keep the traditional indian sticks as a child, and had some ET`s later in life also. The rain forest is what interest`s me mainly and all life from it be it Mammalian, Reptillian, Amphibian, Bird, Fish or Invert. So a collection of Phasmids from various different parts of the World would suit me pretty well i think.

Hi Peter great pics of your celebicum - i love the way their second and third pairs of legs fit so neatly against the body when at rest.

i would think that tank would be absolutely fine for some giganteum, to be honest all this talk is making me want some more myself so maybe soon i will be attracting odd looks again while out collecting bramble!

as for other phasmids i would definitly agree with Oli on the oreophoetes peruana - they look so fragile but have the most amazing colours, and any of the Dares species also make very interesting captives.

Oli i would be interested to hear if you track down some bioculatum this was one species i could never find!

Yes Keiron, the P. celebicum are a work of art for sure. Wouldn`t hurt you to keep a few again Keiron surely! Laughing

I think I shall be expanding in the future. They are a pleasure to keep and a stunning slice of nature in their own right. Smile
