i have been thinking about getting some other rhac species as well as a male crestie, and i was just wondering whether the care for all of them is the same(by all of them i mean leachies, chahoua, sarasinorum and gargoyles). Do they all not require heating? also what are the avearge prices for each of the above species?

what minimum viv sze do they require?

thanks

Im not sure about the other but cresties and gargoyles need almost identical care apart from a lot of people advise not to keep gargoyles together due to the tendency to bite tails. I keep all 3 of my gargoyles separate just because although ive been keeping reptiles for about 10 years im still pretty new to Rhacs so ill take any advice given..

The only other thing i know is that leachies need a bigger viv as they get Huge
