Nat Turner told me that he kept and bred subocs here in the Houston climate without any problems whatsoever. I myself saw several of his yearlings at the spring '02 show.

I also have 1 adult and 2 young adults that are doing awesome. I had to start off offering one of mine water once or twice a week, but now he is well tolerant of water (as long as his tank is well ventilated and kept warm enough) and the humidity that comes along with it.

They definitely do not, however, do well in sweater boxes without good ventilation. I have an adult female in a large sweater box with two 12x12 screen windows on the top. That seems to work out wonderfully with this species.
