I know the UV lighting is important in those.
They need temps around 88-90F ambient
78-82 cool side...Basking spot around 92-94
I would place a stack of rocks (secure stack) under a basking and UV lamps so they can climb the stacks and rest their stomachs on them to digest..basically like a hot rock..
The substrate should be reptile carpet, moss, or bark...Be careful, they will ingest their substrate..and it can cause impaction
I cant think of anything not commonly researched..Not big on being handled often, stress easy..
They are cute as buttons

She gave birth to 4 or 5 babies..They are cute lil dickens!
Anyways..screen top cages are a must..they hang upside down from them |
