Ova takes 3- 4 months to hatch. This is a farley
new specie to culture, was discovered by Zompro,
in 2001. As I have being told, they have to have
both sexed in order to reproduce, but in time will
confirm it my self. They prefer to be kept at 25°C,
45- 55% humidity. When handled, they seem to try
to run away no matter what and will walk right off
your hand.
Females: get 70mm long.
Males: get 50mm long.
Diet: Bramble, but seem to prefer Ivy.
