Hey Nate. I have had the semis since last spring (March maybe?) and the dhara I got in July. The dhara are in a 36" tub (in the pic) and the semis are kept in a 55 gallon aquarium, both set up similar to the one in the pic. They really like their stacked cork bark hides too! As for arboreal tendencies, I would say the semis have some slight climbing tendencies, but not that much. The dharas seem to prefer being down low. And yes, you can keep them just like corns, but definitely without the extra humidity. They like it dry. Like I said, so far, they are proving very easy to keep and all four took rodents straight away with no problems. The females especially are real pigs and are currently taking f/t fuzzies and hoppers every 5-10 days. The males are not quite as voracious and eat every 1-3 weeks. The male semi takes f/t fuzzies slipped under his hide and the male dhara is still eating live fuzzies.

>>Yeah thats what I meant. How long have you been keeping these guys? It looks like they are in tubs? Have you put them in a more arborial setup? I'm working on some 2x2x2 enclosures before I pick them up.
>>From all the info I've got on them makes me think like a corn with maybe a little hotter basking site with a touch more humidity? Let me know that other site for African herps.
