What should the humidity be at?
30-80% fluctuation for proper dry out ( so you don't get stagnant air, and moldy cage decorations)
Do they need a uvb?
no, they are nocturnal, they DO need Vit. d3 to properly absorb calcium however
What is the minimum cage requirement?
15 gallon for a single adult
What is the minimum cage size for two?
1 male, 1 female would be a minimum of 20 gallons
Are they easy to care for or relatively difficult?
one of the easiest species in my opinion
How do you sex them?
at 12-20 grams the males develop a VERY noticeable hemipenal bulge at the base of the tail
Are males or females more difficult to handle or the same?
relatively equal in my opinion, animals will be more skittish the less they have been handled and the younger they are.
