Has anyone here ever kept these? I am supposed tp be getting some soon(few weeks) and was looking some more help from experienced people. Anything you think could help keeping more successfully. Things I am looking for is like behavior, number kept in a single set up and some more info on breeding habits and egg incubation.

I assume you are speaking of Tropiocalotes.You can keep them in groups of mixed sexes.A ten gallon is easily big enough for 10 animals.Put them on sand(real sand not calcisand.)keep them warm 80 with a hotspot of 90.Give them plant pot saucers turned upside down with hole in the sides.They lay clutches of one egg at a time every three weeks or so.You can leave the eggs in with the adults to hatch out.The parents won't eat the hatchlings.You can raise them with the parents or seperately(my choice).Feed the babies true pinheads and adults 1/8 -3/16 in.crickets.They are hardy and quite easy despite their small size.
