I had one for a while and sold him.



He was very tame, gorgeous looking and ate like a pig with no

problems to speak of. The reason I ended up selling him was

because I hate to use newspaper, I prefer something more natural

looking. I was using cypress mulch which looks good and holds

humidity perfectly. The problem was, that he would always be

hiding underneath mulch, all the time. He'd only come out at night to feed.



My dumerils would hide occasionally when he was little, but not

all the time. Also taking the dumerils out and handling him was

always easy. My brb wouldn't mind being handled but he was

always on the move. He felt more like a captive to me than a

pet. I don't want to dissuade you, that's just my experience.
