Hi, this is about the Eugongylus albofasciata. I remember you wrote me about a year ago about how you had one, Minerva. You asked how I kept mine and I was always embarassed cuz mine was in such a small cage. Then it's funny that you keep yours in a tub now. I now have mine in a much bigger cage, a vision cage about 4 feet long and 3 feet deep and 2 feet high. Anyways, yes, she stays hidden a lot too. It IS neat when I see her out though. She now has a basking light (before just a heat mat) and she comes and basks under it occasionally. She eats all kinds of insects and occasionally pinkies. A great eater. And I think she is gorgeous and wish I could see her more, but if she is comfortable hiding, that's okay. Her cage has a big water dish, but now she isn't soaking as much as she used to in her smaller pyrex baking dish (I cover the water dish to give her privacy). Also, she has more stuff to climb on which she does occasionally, but mostly just hides. I think I will get another one at this years reptile show. I saw them there last year and hope they are there again. Maybe with two they will be more interactive.
Also, the Schneider is in a bigger cage now too. I will take pics and post them as well.
