That's great info, Terry! Nice photo of a very nice little triaspis, too. Looking forward to more of your observations about them.
I am finding the LTC young adults, from Diego, to be undemanding and easy to keep. They have great appetites, and the male will take f/t mice. The female is still mainly taking live mice, but I did get her to take a freshly killed young adult mouse recently. I still keep large moist hides for them, which they use fairly often.
