Rhaetus westwoodi westwoodi

Distribution:

India

Breeding hints:

Rhaetus westwoodi westwoodi is a very rare species in the wild. There have been some exports to Japan, but to my knowledge all breeding efforts have not been very successful. At best a few eggs were laid, but we are far from seeing a stabilization of this species in captivity. Rhaetus westwoodi westwoodi is a subtropical mountain species and thus will require low temperatures.
