Hello. I have three but have had others in the past. These can be very delicate animals with many problems...have you kept other amphibs in the past and live near a local exotics expert vet? If not, it may be best to choose another species.
If you have experience and have a good specialist vet nearby...
I keep my adult (who was in with another two that have now gone to froggy heaven) in a 60x60 exo terra. It is a natural set up with a water fall and good micro climate with cleaners such as mites and springtails. I have also found a couple of tiny snails...
anyway, I used cork panels for the background, sunk a large water tight container with leca in the bottom and eco earth for my plants, which include an orchid, scindapsus, a couple of broms. The water fall is made out of a large peice of mopani wood and trickles nicely into a largeish water area that is shallowed with large stones and includes an air plant.
I keep the humidity at 70-80 and temps are at 27 day and 23 night, controlled soley by lights.
Water quality and cleanliness is very important. They are also easily stressed so this set up is ideal as it requires little maintenance.
Hope this helps.
