Hi Carl
I have kept Hingebacks and the humid varieties are kept similar to redfoots humidity needs to be about 80% floor substrate wise , they enjoy soaking so a large submergible bowl is necessary they are quite secretive but this maybe due to the fact they are nearly if not all wild caught so usually have a high parasite burden.
Diet similar to redfoots again but maybe a higher % of animal protein such as snails , earth worms , morio worms and wax moths grubs , they enjoy fruit and fungi and will sometimes take greens they do like yellow flowers also.
Temps need to be in the 80's higher end is best , the tropical wet land hingebacks don't take well to basking so red infra red heat admitter is usually best uvb bulb can be used in place but generally they obtain there D3 through there diet and supplements added.
The dryer area hingebacks captive care is not dissimilar to leopards except some fruit such as melon and cucumber should be added to the diet along with the odd snail and mealworm.
Carl can you get a picture of the hingeback so we can id it for you and they do make strangely interesting pets if kept right
