Pterinochilus murinus lives in the dry deserts of africa. You can keep the substrate totally dry. Extra heat is not necessary though, I keep mine at 70. Mine is out in the open almost all of the time. Bor both of them, just throw crickets in they will eat them. My P. murinus will always take a meal quickly.

Hey,

Ive acually cared for a good bit of baboons and ive found out that the orange starburst can be aboreal also. Ive found that if you provide some climing decors for them they"ll make a web in it
