They are a threatened, borderline endangered specie. They are also extremely difficult to maintain in captivity. There has yet to be a confirmed, verified claim of true captive breeding. So far, all claims have apparently turned out to be captive hatches from WC gravid females.
Not enough is known about their requirements. They are totally dependent on old growth rainforest in Madagascar and their habitat is shrinking quickly. I believe they are already listed in Appendix 1 with CITES. This means no cross border traffic of any kind without massive documentation and permits.
