>>I just got a little girl today! Has anyone kept these in the past or have any pictures so show of their set ups?


Congrats! I love Tribolonotus. Although I don't have any right now, I have kept and bred them in the past and have also studied them in Papua New Guinea. I recommend cypress substrate with overturned cork bark as hides. They like high humidity and a good sized water bowl. In the wild they live in rotting logs and discarded mulch of coconuts or sago palm. Beetles lay eggs in the mulch and Tribbies feed mostly on the beetle larvae. I have had much better luck feeding them larvae (like zoophobus worms) in captivity than fast moving insects like crickets. Occasional waxworms and pinkies are fine too.
Enjoy!
