I absolutely love them, although I don't get to see them very often  they're nocturnal and quite secretive, though I do sit and watch them at night under red LED's.

Thanks! 
Well, seeing as this topic has resurfaced i'll update on how the little nipper is getting on...
Nearly 5 months on, and his body striping has now developed the orange colouring - very striking against his white tail stripes and his still very black body!

In shops they generally retail at between £50-£70.

Thanks - I am!  He's just gorgeous.

Unfortunately the second egg failed  I had a 6 week trip away during its incubation and I left instructions with my mother to make sure the humidity stayed at the correct level (spray as necessary) and to add water to the vermiculite...I have a feeling that she closely monitored the ambient humidity but didn't check that the vermiculite stayed moist
Absolutely gutting - really highlights the importance of keeping the substrate moist through incubation.
Though having blown my savings on travelling abroad in the summer means that I will be around to personally tend to my eggs this coming year...
