I acquired two, Rosita and Pablo (a breeding pair) on a recent trip to the border. (Yes, they are legal, i have green cards for both of them, and i am hoping that they will produce an anchor baby soon) So im not worried about the legality, just the care procedures. Someone mentioned that they need to be soaked in purified water occasionally. What for, how often, and what else do they need? Is the purified water necessary? I highly doubt that they are really used to high quality pure what judging by the village they came from. Thanks.
No, it isnt a troll question. I made a joke about the breeding pair and the green card, but i am serious about the rest. Whats needed to keep them healthy inside that bean?
To rehydrate the beans, they need to be soaked, not submerged, for a three-hour period in chlorine-free water once or twice a month. The chlorine found in tap water in some locales will kill them. Alternatively, one may let chlorinated tap water stand in an uncovered glass for about six hours before using, to let the chlorine dissipate. Just spraying the beans with a little water is ineffective in maintaining the larvae's lifespan. Beans should be stored in a cool, dry place, but freezing will kill them.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com If beans are shaken too hard, they will sometimes stop movement for a short amount of time as a defense mechanism.
LOL This is so interesting! Something I never thought about before.
