Status: Currently trying to breed some.
Any help on identifying this specie, would be greatly
appreciated :)!
Diet: in captivity, they will feed on small
Crickets, Phoenix Worms and Fruit Flies. Their food
diet should be always dusted in multi-vitamins as
they tend to grow fast and will have deformities
if diet is not balanced properly.
Adult size: will update in time, ones my
cultures reached adult size.
Though they have to have a water source at all
times, they are quite hardy and can stay on the
drier surfaces for up to a few days at a time. They
are already almost 3/4- 1" long, and are still
accepting Fruit Flies and really like 1- 2 week
old crickets. Most of their time they spend in their
water dish. I put some paper towel in side of the
water dish, since they seem to like to burry them
selves in it.
I observed them whether or not they are able to
recognize a water dish with in a new cage. They
ones that were put in the water dish first, always
came back to it when get too dry. The other few
that were placed als where with in the cage, seem
to try to dig with their hind legs t try to find
some moisture. It seems that unless they are shown
a water place, they are unable to locate it, unless
just by plane accident. This was also the case with
one of my Dart Frogs that decided it would rather
stay beside the water dish and dry out then go in
it, as it was un aware of the where a bouts of the
water source.
