    X. intermedius or X. intermedia

    I'm looking for more info on keeping these species from a reliable source. Anyone keep them or know a good place to get info on them?

    Xeneesthis immanis or Xenesthis intermedia? I have a male immanis but they are both kept the same. They like are found under groun in Venezuela (spelling?), they like high humidity and are very skiddish. The intermedia cost more then the immanis but in all honesty I bet you can't tell the difference really between the two.

    Xenesthis intermedius and Xenesthis intermedia both refer to the same species, it's just a spelling variant because nobody is quite sure how the Latin should go. Both are correct though.

    But as Boanerges said, keep them like an X. immanis, high-ish humidity, a good amount of soil to let them burrow if they choose (though they may not burrow, like mine), and pay attention when you're opening the cage because they're lightning quick and easy to start.
