They are juvenile specimens, and I got them from a friend of Sevilla. Now, they are eating well, but, when they came here, they sometimes refused the preys. I keep them in plastic cages with pieces of wood as substratum and a water container. In the beginning, I provided them hiding-places, but they didnīt use it, they always stood outside, and then I removed it from the cages. Since I bought them, their behavior is the same: very very aggresive and nervous, always being on the alert. itīs very hard for me to handling them with hook. I will try to send you a pic of their cages. Thank u, regards.
