Care information

Provided with coconut hide, though doesn’t often use it. Likes to climb so cork bark is provided. Substrate used is peat/vermiculite topped with bark chips.

Water bowl provided premoult and one week post moult.

Feeding is twice weekly on crickets, locusts and maggots. This is the one everyone has seen, very good feeders, will stand their ground if disturbed, but don’t often kick.

 

These care sheets are the ones I use specifically for breeding purposes, to maintain their environment as close as possible to their native conditions.

For pet keeping the accepted range can be found on the general care page
