Hi all, I've finally had success raising this species. After about a month in a heated incubator I've gotten nanitics (which are surprisingly large).

 

 

 

A closer view:

 

They're eating Kentucky Bluegrass seeds and mealworms. They're currently in a simple plastic box, inside the incubator. I'm hoping one day I can move them out of the incubator into some kind of container that I can view them out in the open from, without them dying due to lack of heat. Any ideas? Any experiences with raising this particular species?

You could basically try putting a heat mat under their tank, but I'm not sure if that's the best idea while they are still in a test tube. I'm also not sure if it will be warm enough...

Looks like a healthy colony! If you're thinking of a tubs and tubes setup, you could try putting a heat mat under one end of the tub and the test tubes on both ends, so that they can decide what temperature they'd like.
