Dynastes tityus Adult Male

Description

This listing is for a SMALLISH captive-bred Dynastes tityus adult MALE  One male per customer. There is no guarantee of lifespan. If the beetle is dead on arrival I will refund you for the specimen, but not shipping. 

Dynastes tityus is the Eastern Hercules Beetle. This is our most impressive US beetle species that is somewhat regularly available in the pet trade.

This listing is for a captive bred adult MALE (no females available, sorry). These are very rarely available.

Make sure they stay in a humid enclosure. A dry substrate will shorten their lifespan considerably. Feed them fresh fruits and/or sugary liquids. They also eat beetle jellies (related products, below) if you want a food that won’t spoil or attract other pests like fruit flies, etc.

In the first scene of the video below, you can compare two males of the yellower D. tityus with the grayish male Dynastes granti.
