Sexing and Characteristics: | In the breeding season, the male will have a loose, baggy, dark throat. Females don’t |
Mostly Active During: | Night |
Substrate and Water Needs: | I personally like moss but make sure that it isn’t too small to be swallowed. paper towels are inexpensive and easy to clean but it makes the tank look unnatural.Also a small shallow water dish about an inch deep with distilled water. |
Lighting and UVB: | No lighting needed as they are nocturnal |
Temperatures and Humidity: | Room temperature is fine if it is in the 70s but not below 60. Humidity should be 60-80%. This can be done by placing a piece of plexiglass over the top of the cage. Mist 2-3 times a day |
Heating and Equipment: | You will need a few sticky plants stuck on the wall, a hiding place like a piece of bark. Don’t really need heating unless you live somewhere cold. A weak basking spot could be used if it is cold. |
Caging Provided: | Never more than 3 per 10 gallons. The bigger the better |
