I do have experience in them I have kept them in the past. I had three before and I kept them in a vavarium with a mixture of soil, leaves, and sphagnum moss as a substrate with a shallow water area for drinking/soaking. I would keep them in this same manner.

They stopped being imported over a year ago. Very few are captive bred, and those that are command a high price.
