i used to keep these and i got lucky and last year an managed to get them to breed, (dont have them anymore as i sold them all to Paula (molly75)). i had a trio of them in a 2ftx15x15 wooden Viv on forest bed as a substrate with a few bits of cork bark on the floor and up vertically. i misted them lightly once an evening and fed them on 3rd instar crickets, i saw them drink from their water bowl so they definitely should have one. they had a 5.0 UV tube in their tank but no spot bulb just a heat mat under one half of the tank, the temperature range was about 29C hot end to 25C cool end. if you manage to breed them than i incubated the egg i had at 27C on some slightly damp vermiculite and it took 4.5 months to hatch, i had pretty much given up on it when it finally got round to hatching.

cheers, will
