They're a fantastic little species and this is a great price.

They do however need to be given quite a bit of room and only kept one male to as many females as you like. They stake out "trees" as territory, you'd do best creating a number of vertical branches that they can leap from as well as horizontal branches. There's not a lot of info on keeping them in captivity and just assume that as these can jump (glide) from tree to tree at distances of 8 metres - pretty impressive.... you don't want to cramp them or you will never see this activity... they are pretty small, 7-9" including tail I believe. Diurnal so provide full UVB and a rainforest setup.

the only thing I can really add is that D. volans reaches 22cm total length and glides 5m forwards for every metre of height lost, and has been recorded gliding over 100 metres from tree top to ground.

also they eat mainly small inverts and ANTS so ants in the diet or formic acid powder supplements should be a necessity (available from chemists)

as they are tree top dwellers they are likely to need good ventilation also.

I would recommend a 36" chameleon viv for 5 of these

They were just missed out on by me, I ordered them, then got a phone call a couple of hours later to say they had all gone,

I have 8 left available, the rest are reserved for when they arrive.
