I'm looking for info on this species. I have heard they are problem feeders but other then that they are great to keep. I'd like to set up a c.b. breeding program for them. So any info would be great also if you knew where i could pick some up. Thanks alot in advance,
John

I kept a trio of imported adults. They were not problem feeders by any stretch of the imagination and they nailed f/t small rats. As far as breeding, I think they need to be reverse cycled (cold during the summer, warm during the winter) if they are wildcaughts. If CB, they can probably adjust to the N. American seasons. Just a note, they are often heavily parasitized when imported so treat them accordingly.
