Hi i got a Brazilian salmon pink not that long ago and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them because i am pretty new to them
and have never kept them.I would just like a bit of advice on them.Any advice would be most appreciated.cheers.

I had a pair of females a while ago. What do you want to know about them?

[herpzane]

Mines only a juvenile. How big did yours get.I just wanted to know basic requirements and what there like when they get bigger.Is feeding a trouble as they only accept live food.

My 5-6 inch L.parahybana eats anything, alive or dead, i sometimes give her bits of heart and liver.
Shes quite friendly, i wouldnt handle her though, she can get a little stroppy sometimes when im topping up her water bowl
Shes got coco fibre stuff as substrate and has a log hide too, she never uses it though, shes always out wandering and exploring

Thanks a lot.Mine tends to wander a lot.They seem to have no fear and mines only about 3" at the moment.Cant wait until it gets big.whats there growth rate like.

[SpiderGirl33]

They grow fairly quickly Especially if you feed them a lot

[Layla]

They grow quick and large. My female is 9" which is about as big as they get as far as Im aware. She is a pussycat but the last one we had would try and climb up the tweezers to bite you and that was jus trying to fish the water bowl out. Substrate shouldnt be damp but not bone dry either. Usual care for new world terrestrials. Peat or coco coir substrate, hide and open water dish

[SpiderGirl33]

Got any pics of your 9" female Layla?

Mine likes dry substrate, she has a water bowl which she spends most of her time in, not sure if shes drinking lots cos shes going to moult though.
Cant wait till she moults, its so worrying when they havent eaten for ages.

theyre great display T's as theyre always out and exploring (well mine is anyway!)

Never had a problem feeding, nor do i know of anyone who's had a problem with feeding them, grow quite quickly, get gorgeous and chunky in good time, awesome T's, good choice!

Mine likes hiding a lot. Seen it for the first time today in 3 months out of its burrow on its own accord. Shes busy baracading her pot. Really likes flicking hairs and hissing too. One end of her viv is soaked once a week.
