She's really pretty Dan.
How do you go about keeping these, what diet do they have, where are they from? Sorry to keep asking but I haven't heard of these before |

Wow they look great. How big do they grow? What sort of setup do they require?

Deb and Pete, Geomyda spengleri only get 4 inches SCL and are found in Vietnam almost exclusively. They like it damp and cool. I have no heat and no lights on her, what ever temp the room is is fine with her. I keep her on the floor to keep her as cool as possible. She'll eat anything that moves, earthworms, pinkies, wax worms, meal worms, wood louse, beetles, crickets and grasshoppers. I've had her a year and a half and I haven't had a bit of trouble with her.
