Robbie, I have 3 males and 7 females. Cherries are 1 male and 2 females. Yes they can cohabitate, but if you want to keep a pure species best not to, I think eventually I'm going to split the cherries from northerns. This enclosure was only completed 2 months ago. Still some to do. It's set at 28/29°c. The caves are at about 25°c. Humidity is off the scale, have s rain system in there too.
I'll post photos of my hatchling tomorrow. Do you live in the uk? I'll also post photos of outdoor area tomorrow.
You probably won't know the sex of yours until they are about 8" in size. Males can live together as long as there is enough females.
