He houses them in large wooden vivs with plenty of ventilation, but no heat or light. The are fed cat biscuits, insectivorous bird food & mealworms. They demolish a cuttlefish bone daily. They are housed seperately.

I dont believe they're kept with no heat or light. They come from dry, arid scrub land in Brazil so need it alot hotter than UK temperatures.

Bear in mind they are classed as vulnerable on the IUCN listings and are incredibly powerful. They use their claws to open up termite mounds.
