[QUOTE="Synapze, post: 337317, member: 10818"] Even though the species is said to be for the advanced keeper, I find them easy to care for. Average room temperature and around 30-35% humidity is adequate. I wouldn't recommend humidity over 50%. They have a good range of temperature tolerance at 65°- 80°. My female stayed at about 68°- 72° all winter, but higher is good after feeding day. I've heard of people having mismolts using net cages, but I've been keeping my adults in one. One of the specimens somehow got his raptor snagged in the mesh, he lost it but otherwise seems fine. He chewed the raptor off AND chewed a hole large enough to stick a pencil through. I don't know if this is something that happens frequently. This has become one of my favorite species. Can't wait to mate them. 😊 Good luck! [/QUOTE]
