Havent got an exact on humidity, but they like it pretty humid and get misted twice a day. Temps are 28-30 at the basking spot and down to around 22-23 of a night time. They also get 14 hours of day light during the summer season and are supposed to get a couple of hours less during winter. |

There has just been a big shipment of them come in, I know an importer with lots available now, around the price of cold-blooded's as well.
I was thinking of getting some but just bought some new cresties so maybe next time lol.

They seem to do fine in pairs or groups, only snag is, its best to only keep one male per tank as they are quite aggressive towards each other, and unfortunately the females are no where near as bright as the males  |

Stu I just had a read in Bruse, Meyer & Scmidt`s Professional Breeder series book about them and apparently they are found at 350 meters above sea level in Kimboza forest in Eastern Tanzania! 
I would imagine that viv would be fine. Might be worth adding a few upright branches of the right thickness as apparently they are like Phelsuma (which I have kept) in the way in which they respond to any potential threat by moving to the opposite side of their tree trunk.
Apparently fond of banana and fruit flies which should work well together!
If they are anything like most phelsuma species, I would avoid having more than one male in the same enclosure. Looking forward to some quality pics should you get some.

The males of these look great, this time last year though they was between 350 and 500 euro's a pair.
