i've read on other forums that lateralis seem like a great choice.  no glass climbing, no smell, quick breeders, small size, so on.


i'm thinking of getting a culture of these started so i've got some questions hopefully you guys could help me with


1. size of the enclosure.  i don't know how big it should be.  i've found care sheets but nobody specifies size.  what's a decent environment to start them in.


2. temperature.  i know they like heat, but will they still breed in cooler weather?  my room gets down to 67 or so at times, but usually stays about 69 to 70.  is that too cold for them to breed?  if it just slows their breeding, i could just keep more of them to make up for i'd guess.


3. i'd like to keep them out of site.  is it possible to stick them in a drawer?  i guess that would mostly depend on the enclosure size and whether or not i have to heat it.
