Great I was hoping to make contact with a keeper of them. I don't suppose you have any pictures of yours and your setups do you?
I'm keen on them as a species but wanted to get as much information on them as I could. How do you keep them in the winter? Heated shed like many leopard keepers do? I have spoken to a zoo worker who said as long as there was no frost on the ground they were ok to go out as long as they had a warm area afterwards.
How do you manage the humidity?
Would a vivarium be suitable for a hatchling at all? Am I correct in thinking about 19 inches fully grown is about right?
Sorry I have so many questions about them! I would be grateful for any advice you can give on them.
