Hi,

can someone give me some tips on captive care for H. maculatus? I might be able to get a pair but have no clue yet on how to keep them... One of the few things I found out is that they get quite big, about 25 cm total length.

Thanks!

Br,

Chris

I have some limited experience with the species, I gave it a large vertically oriented enclosure, hotspot of around 90 degrees present near the top of the cage, ambient was around75-85 depending on the area of the cage. I provided a water dish and sprayed every few days. Not sure if this is spot on how to keep them but this is what I was told to do and had good results. However, I no longer have the animal, having shipped it back to the seller.
