I believe Basky off here has one. May be worth dropping her a PM.

Was it anything particular you wanted to know?

They get to around 2ft maybe a bit more when adult. I currently have my two in a 4x2x2 but will be looking to give them a more arboreal viv when they get a bit bigger, probably 4x3x2.

They like quite high humidity so I keep mine on a deep compost layer with orchid bark over the top and have a cat litter tray as their water bowl.

Feeding they will take all the usual, crickets, locusts and occasional pinkies when bigger. Both of mine will take size 3 locusts despite the female being a lot smaller than the male (around 12" in length).

Thanks i was hopeing that they did not get to big. I have a 5x2x2 would this be big enough for a pair or do they need to be kept seperate untill breeding? Also do they require alot of hides or just enough for them in the hot and cold ends. Thanks

My pair are in together with no problems. The viv would be big enough but they like a bit of height, although mine are usually around the mid level of their viv although the female goes up to the top to sleep. I have a load of branches and plastic plants to give them cover and a piece of flat cork along the back that they like to hide behind.

Mine haven't so far, but I'm guessing the female may burrow to an extent as she starts to mature.

Good luck finding some, they don't seem to come around that often but they are beautiful animals and well worth waiting for.
