Hi again,

I have a pair, have had them for 3-4 years. They eat great and I find them to be very hardy if taken care of properly. I have mine in a 65 gallon reptarium, they run everywhere and climb using every inch of the thing.

They have live birth, babies are real cute, I had 10 last October and found homes for them all this spring. They were eating machines.

Don't keep them too warm and mist them 1 or twice a day!

They do not make a good tame pet for holding if that is what your after, they do not like to be held, unless you start them very young. And ys they are quite SWIFT/ fast.
