wow superb, does their behavior differ from other cham sp, noticed you have them in groups, are they sociable? how long do they live for? tell us about your set ups, care ect, sorry about all the questions but they are fascinating Cool

Mattie they can live in groups 1 male to 3 or 4 females depending on the tank size, they need no uv just a small halogen bulb for lighting, they cant tolerate high temps but like high humidity. I keep mine in 2ft tanks heavily planted with a 4 inch layer of compost where the females lay there eggs, they live from 18months to 3 yrs so they don't have a long life but a very productive one, hope that answers a few questions hun anything else just ask.
Love Karen

What a great thread! Thanks for sharing Karen! Is the gene pool pretty small or are there a few about in the UK?

think they have just got some of these in the rep shop near me. How do you incubate the eggs, or do you just leave them where mummy buries them?

Kat i remove the eggs to incubate them, but i have heard of them hatching in the substrate.
