Do you keep these? What is the care like if so?

Keep ordinary ants in extraordinary ways.

I just got them but yes I do keep them. Every Narceus species I've kept is pretty much the same care. I was purchasing isopod and millipede substrate but I made my own here recently. Pretty much the care is just keep rotting wood and leaf litter for them in the substrate, keep slightly moist, and give veggies when you want.
