Many thanks to Thorshammri for importing these from Jon Boone for me last year.

After 4 months quarantine, and both eating fine, I re-introduced them, they cam together, but I split them to keep an eye on them individually, and will be doing so again soon. I prefer to keep my animals seperate.

Anyway, with help from Thorshammri, I've managed to successfully keep them so far, they are active, alert, healthy poos and eat most anything I put in their vivarium

I am currently awaiting to see if the female will produce eggs, and if I can have one or two babies this season. I'd LOVE to be able to raise some that are handleable <3

Anyway, pictures of Bonnie & Clyde.

Also, if anyone out there owns these, and has any advice or knowledge, please do PM me! Thank you.

And some older pictures of them

Thanks for looking

Great looking species, hope you get some nice babies from them.

Thanks Hannibal.

Yes, I've been doing some more reading up on them, so I'm still learning, but both are so vocal, and swallowing crickets like they are going out of fashion! I see a little head poking out of the leafs sometimes late at night, daring to come out which is very cute!

Just to update, I've eggs from this pair, one is fertile, and have learned so much about them this last month. I'm just over the moon the egg is fertile, and hopefully I'll have a couple hatch by the end of the season
