Care and Maintenance in Captivity
These animals should be housed in pairs and need a large terrarium which should provide many places to hide. Group breeding, however, is possible. The terrarium should be earth based with a number of flat rocks present. It is important that there are some spot lights for basking. The daytime temperature should be between around 29°C while at night, the temperature should drop to 20°C. In captivity, these animals can be fed with crickets, wax moths, fruit flies, mealworms and houseflies.

“Had it pleased heaven
To try me with affliction, had they rained
All kind of sores and shames on my bare head,
Steeped me in poverty to the very lips,
Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes,
I should have found in some place of my soul
A drop of patience.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
