I love mine, they are so colorful. I have been breeding for 5 years and have 7 gravid females right now. Should be due end of July / early August. Mine are all puppy dog tame except for one female who can be nippy if overhandled. If I take her out and handle her - np, if she gets handed around a little - np, if she gets handled or pulled out of her cage multiple times like at a show, she can get irritated and bite, not always but because of that I don't take her to any shows They do need the humidity, I accomplish this with fairly tight cages, little vents. And keep a moist hide box with peat moss and green moss dampened. Also keep a large water bowl. I do not need to and don't mist. I know others do mist and some quite often. They are voracious eaters and rarely refuse food, except for breeding season for all and females only while gravid. With proper environment, breeding for me has been fairly easy, only have to cycle the temp and 5 - 6 months later, babies. The adults are about 5 - 6 feet.
