Ponderous Borer care

[mantisboy]

I recently caught a female Ponderous Borer (Trichocnemis spiculatus) in CA. I was wondering if anyone has any experience keeping this species, or any related Prionids, as a pet. For instance, what kind of habitat do they need, what do they feed on, and how long do they live?

Thanks in advance

Most prionids live fast and die young...
Not the best of pets, they are very bittey too, I prefer Lucanids as pets. Not Lucanus though as they too are short lived. Dorcus are good, so too are Phalacrognathus
