I have never seen CalPhotos before so wasn't too sure what it was. Is it a photo sharing community or something along those lines? I think I may know one of the photographers, a guy called Wolfgang, would be a funny coincidence if its the same guy (a really stubborn, dry, intelligent German South African)
Well lets share some info and get ours breeding
One thing I noticed with them is that for the first 2 weeks I fed them on termites and they were producing the poison but got too lazy to go and collect termites every other day and started feeding flightless fruit flies. Since this change in diet I have noticed they are not producing the poison as often, this may be due to the fact that they are now used to me and not releasing the poison, but I think its the lack of formic acid from the termites that caused the change.
My pair is still tiny (smaller than the size of a quarter) and I am keeping them in an Addiss tub with a water bowl some sphagnum moss and a piece of termite mound, I have found that during the day they are under this piece of mound and at night they will be walking around to the sphagnum moss hunting or sitting in the water bowl. I am just waiting for a friend to finish off making my cage and then I will be moving them into an exo-terra style cage, I will have a deep water bowl (with an incline) and soil and rocks with various indoor plants. Kurt, how are you keeping yours?
Here is a pic of the male
