Tips for Aeluroscalabotes felinus

[adambedlam]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking at adding Aeluroscalabotes felinus to my collection. Would anyone have any good tips for keeping and breeding Aeluroscalabotes felinus ?

what is your collection as it stands? What do you know about felinus already?

They can't exceed temps of >28C maximum and require fairly constant high humidity. A lot of people say they are best with distilled/ RO water as well.

Well my collection right now I have " * Uroplatus * Nephrurus * Oedura * Strophrurus * Diplodactylus * Goniurosaurus * "

A. felinus
Housing them in 12x12x18 exo terra with corkbark, bamboo, coco fiber and few plants. What plants would be the best for felinus?

Feeding 3-4 crickets every other day?
Enjoying high humidity levels with temps of 72-80 max.

I'm sure I'm missing alot but just want some over all tips on housing and keeping A. felinus?

hi adam
at first one question- do you want to get adults or youngs?
you have to avoid stress- they dislike it!

and the youngs live alone at first. maybe when thay adult and big enough you can add them to a group, but one male only, of course!
Some people think that a group is okay, some not, some peolple think that the seperate housing to all groupmembers is better, some not.
see, you have to choose your own way in adding or not adding.

The best advice I can give you is to read through this forum. It contains more felinus information than anywhere else on the net. Also, make sure to go to the caresheets section and read the caresheet that is there.
