Well, well...the gang's all here! Terry, I have only been keeping them since this spring, so I don't have a lot of experience to add to the conversation. Both were W/C from the same locality (practically your backyard! ) this year. They were both treated for parasites and have acclimated nicely. The male took off like a champ, eating f/t on the first try, but the female took over a month to eat and even though she eats 2-3 times a week, she will only take live hopper mice to this day.

As far as keeping them, I follow a simplistic approach. I keep both of them on newspaper, with one dry hide and one damp sphagnum moss filled humid hide each. At first, I tried to provide a warm spot (85-90), but they avoided it like the plague, so they are just at room temp now (76-80).

My friend Oscar actually bred his Pajaritos pair this year. Let me know if you want me to put you in touch with him for the details.
