They are montane lizards with very special climatic need. Although some specimens survive under adverse conditions, most do not. Many wc emerald swifts do not survive longer than a year. Even though they are cheap, I would not recommend them for beginners. They need a tall very well ventialted setup with ultra bright lights and hot basking spot and a SEVERE temp drop at night accompanier by a strong upshift of humidity up to almost 100%.
