Laureola sp. 'magma'

Origin: Vietnam

Size: Adults reach approximately 8–10 mm in length.

Difficulty (Keeping): High; sensitive to environmental changes and requires exact care parameters.

Breeding Difficulty: High; reproduction depends on stable climate conditions and consistent moisture levels.

Temperature: Maintain between 24–28°C (75–82°F).

Humidity: Very high humidity is crucial, aiming for 90–95% relative humidity.

Ventilation: Ensure excellent airflow to balance humidity and prevent fungal or bacterial issues.

Diet: Provide a varied diet of decomposing wood, leaf litter, fresh veggie and fruit scraps, and protein like fish flakes. Add calcium from limestone or cuttlebone.

Habitat Setup: Use a moist, well-ventilated enclosure with a substrate blend of coco peat, sphagnum moss, and organic soil. Add plenty of hides and maintain a layered moisture gradient for natural behavior.

Additional Notes: Laureola sp. “Magma” is known for its fiery, molten-like coloration that becomes more intense under optimal conditions. It is a highly sought-after species that performs best in enclosures with automated humidity support and frequent monitoring. Perfect for dedicated, experienced keepers who can maintain strict environmental stability.
