Giant Spiny Stick Insect (Eurycantha calcarata) Large Nymph Pair! One very large female and one very large male nymph / subadult £18 including postage.
The Giant Spiny Stick Insects is an impressive and bulky species of stick insect from Papua New Guinea. Easy to breed and to rear, they feed on Ivy, Bramble, Oak and Hawthorn and live happily in normal room temperature conditions. My females are especially large and very dark in colour. Typically around 15cm long and very chunky when fully grown and full of eggs!
Basic Care for the Giant Spiny Stick Insect (Eurycantha calcarata):
House your new pets in a plastic or glass tank with enough height for them to moult easily. For Eurycantha species this should be at least 24cm as they will need plenty of space when they shed their skins especially for their last moult. Place a few sheets of paper towel on the bottom of the tank to help keep it humid and make sure the temperature is kept between 18 and 26C.
Provide them with lengths of bramble or rose in a jar of water so that they have plenty of fresh leaves to eat and branches to moult from as they grow. Use a water sprayer to give the leaves a light misting of every few days. This is an active species of stick insect so take care when changing their food or cleaning them out.
The female can lay hundreds of eggs in her lifetime and uses her pointed abdomen (ovipositor) to bury her eggs into the ground. You will need to provide a box of sand or compost in the enclosure for her to lay her eggs into. The eggs will generally hatch within nine months if sprayed daily with water.
We post out all orders using Royal Mail 1st Class postage on Monday and Tuesday each week. This is to - hopefully - avoid the insects being stuck in the postal system over the weekend and to ensure you receive them as soon after posting as possible.
