im keeping mine like i keep my whites tree frogs. i got him back in oct at the tinley park show. daytime temps are upper 70s ( cooler cause its winter, my summer temps reach the mid 80s for my whites) and night time temps are 70-72 ( also cooler cause of the time of yr, summer lows were mid 70s for the whites)im keeping him on a peat moss/top soil, sphagnam moss ( i know thats spelled wrong) mix. has live pothos plants for cover. tree branches. i also have a shallow water dish. i dont know what my humidity is, but its pretty humid. i mist a couple times a week. ive just been feeding him crickets. took 2.5 weeks for me to finally see him eat. ( he ate the whole time before that, just took that long for me to actually witness it) i have pill bugs living in the tank ( for 2 yrs, i actually just moved my whites in by another whites and put the goliath in that tank) so i am guessing that he might have eaten some of those.....hope this helps (oh, i have had one of my whites for 3.5 yrs, and the other for 9 months. just in case anyone was wondering)

thanks for the info... was beginning to think that i wouldnt get any replies!

no problem. if you search lower in the forum i asked the same question back in oct after i got my goliath. i wanted to make sure that i was keeping it right and such. i got no replies. anyways, heard that they were kept like whites and thats what i am doing and he seems to be doing good. good luck. post a pic when you get yours.

who do you think you are gonna get one from?
