Dynastes Tityus
Also called the Eastern Hercules.
From head to tail, these beetles shine in golden hues with unique spots and patterns. Their lifespan is longer compared to other beetles, almost a year, and their non-picky eating habits make them favorites among keepers, providing long-term enjoyment.🪲

How do we take care of a beetle that just emerged and is still dormant?
1️⃣ Beetles that just emerged are very fragile. Their exoskeleton has not yet hardened and can be harmed very easily.
2️⃣ It is very important to choose a very soft and delicate substrate for them.
3️⃣ Always keep the environment moisturized.
4️⃣ DO NOT put any beetle jelly when they're still dormant. Even though they are likely not to eat it, there's still a chance for them to eat it and mess up their viscera.
What are some other things we need to be careful about when handling a beetle that just emerged?

Most beetles can't live for a long time, but there are ways to keep them living for longer than usual.
1. Beetle Jelly - Always giving them new jelly when they're out is more important than you think. You never want a hungry beetle in your house!
2. Clean Substrate - Like every other animal. Having a clean and nice environment is also important for your beetle.

How to tie up mandible for large dorcus.
PART TWO:
This method is a bit harder to put the mandible into the two loops, but in my experience, it is more stable than the first method.
Which do you think would work better?
Try them both out and let us know your experience.

Do you know female Dorcuses might be killed when they mate??!!
The male’s mandibles are too huge and they can be aggressive. It’s actually very easy to prevent that.⬆️⬆️
Part 1:
Tying up the mandible can be a very good and convenient way to prevent males from killing the females.
Remember to NOT hurt your beetle and yourself.
Some males will get very grumpy when their mandible is tied up and they’ll stop eating or won’t mate, if that happens, you just need to do it the old fashioned way and keep an eye on them while they mate.
Welcome to share this out! 🙌🏻
