Hi i posted on here a few weeks back asking about Chacosoma caucasus and ive just found some larvae to buy. Question is how do i raise them? and how long does it take? I have no experiance in beetle keeping but i can see me getting into it. Any sites or even books that i need to read?

Cheers

I have kept many sp and generally rear them the same. Deep substrate with lots of bark, beech/oak leaves etc. (sterilize them in a microwave) keep substrate damp but not wet. I feed bananna, orange, fruit and even tea bags (Used) go in with my pachnodas. Big deep geo and keep the heat mat at the back. Good luck.
