Very pretty.

I'm sorry if you've already posted on this, but have you tried to keep them? How's your luck been?

Cheers,
Billy

I kept them as a kid and still love the little guys. Don't care for the musk though
Anyway, I had little problem keeping them as long as I had earthworms, tree frogs and their tads, greenhouse frogs, etc. for food items. I never really tried using pink mice, but I am sure you could scent them over.
When I was 10 or so I thought I'd breed the biggest southerns I could find, and did, for a few years off and on. Keeping any species from egg to egg is a thrill.
They are apt to get blisters if kept too wet but otherwise are pretty straightforward.
Good luck!
