whats involved in keeping them?

 

You just need a small tank with sand in the bottom ad maybye a couple of sticks, no heater. You have to spray them with water two or three times a week to keep the humidity.

 

They eat fruit flies, micro crickets, ( bigger crickets when they get larger), any house spiders etc too.

 

Thats it :)

im interested but postage cost and is that really safe or cruel?

but need to look into getting a tank

 

is 1 on its own ok or do they like company?

 

 

Theyre fine being posted. Another member received his today and theyre perfectly fine.

 

Postage is £2 for next day guarentee, which is best.

 

Theyre usually kept alone, as they can be known to eat each other, however, you can mate them, but the female will eat the male afterwards ;) lol
