     补充喂食: 可以用富含蛋白质的食物如面包虫或糖溶液进行补充，以提供额外能量。

5. Other Maintenance Tips (其他饲养建议):

   • Temperature Control: Maintain the habitat temperature consistently within the preferred range using heating elements if necessary.
     温度控制: 如有必要，使用加热设备确保栖息地温度稳定保持在适宜范围内。
   • Humidity Maintenance: Regularly mist the habitat to keep humidity levels within the desired range.
     湿度维持: 定期为栖息地喷水，以保持湿度在所需范围内。
   • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent mold growth while maintaining necessary humidity.
     通风: 确保有足够的通风，以防止霉菌生长，同时保持所需湿度。
   • Safety: Handle with care to avoid disturbing the colony, as this species can bite defensively.
