Hello.
A friend of mine had a few imports some years ago. They were from Paraguay I believe. They are native to the upper Amazon if I'm not mistaken. He used to keep them in a heavily planted terrarium because he said they stressed real easily similar to wild caught RETF's he said. The temps were in the high 70's with a moderate drop at night. Humidity around 80%. He never bred them but they sure are beautiful! Small frogs too! With a preference for small prey and they ate quite often if my memory doesn't fail me. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any success with them.

Good luck!
