Breeding Philoscia muscorum

[Roshan Vignarajah]

I recently caught a couple Philoscia muscorum from my backyard and I was wondering about some tips for breeding them.  I have heard they are particularly difficult

I've bred them, they aren't super difficult but do need very high, consistent moisture, lots of leaf litter, and they should not be kept that warm either.

Ditto. To really thrive, they need mid to lower 60s and prefer an acidic substrate. They are often found in the vicinity of conifers.

I'll admit I never tried super hard but anyone pretending to have a long-term culture of that species also has a bunch of spaerotheriids they're breeding.

Apparently Philoscia is common in the European Hobby?

Yeagh, they're common almost everywhere in temperate climates across the globe. Probably a lot more common in North America since there are hardly any competing species.
