ANyone familiar with this species? Bare in mind I know it is an endagered species. I also know it is illegal for a person to own one in puerto rico. However I do know of someone that despite my insitance on him not keeping it he is determined to keep it. He says he is doing it to research and help the species. therefore I want to get him as much info as possible.
I know a bit from what I have gathered. I know the statistics in the wild such as the range and the fact they like to eat bats. However if anyone has info that would help in a captive environment it would be much appreciated.

...Henderson and Tolson's book says they will eat birds and rodents as well as bats. I have heard that they have bad attitudes and some do not do well in captivity because they are hostile and stressed all the time. Not sure if that info is from good keepers or not. I hunted hard for inornatus in Peurto Rico and never found one.

Thanks Jeff. Yeah this guy lives in puerto rico and caught this one straight from the wild. As with any wildcaught he has his work cut out for him.
