these guys should be just at breeding age. Will make an amazing project. If we didn’t have a store to build and weren’t in the process of moving we would be keeping these guys! 

Care

• Enclosure: Minimum 18” x 18” x 24” tall for a single adult, though larger vertically oriented enclosures are recommended. Provide plenty of sturdy branches, cork bark, and dense live or artificial foliage for climbing and security.
• Temperature: Ambient 68–75°F with a basking area of 78–82°F. Nighttime temperatures of 60–68°F are beneficial.
• Humidity: Maintain 70–90% humidity with regular misting while allowing adequate ventilation to prevent stagnant air.
• Lighting: Provide UVB lighting (5.0–6%) for 10–12 hours daily along with a natural day/night cycle.
• Diet: Feed a varied diet of appropriately sized insects such as crickets, roaches, silkworms, black soldier fly larvae, and the occasional hornworm. Dust feeders regularly with calcium and vitamin supplements.
