Behaviour & Compatibility

Minimal handling is best. Cannibalism can occur even in species sometimes kept communally; individual housing is safest.

Feeding & Nutrition

Offer appropriately sized live insects, including suitable flies. Feed small nymphs more frequently than adults and confirm the current food size with our team. Do not leave prey with an animal preparing to moult. Provide fine drinking droplets by careful misting; avoid soaking the animal or enclosure.

Routine Care

Check food, water or drinking droplets, ventilation and substrate moisture regularly. Remove waste and spoiled food promptly; avoid disturbing animals during moulting. Keep doors and ventilation gaps secure.
