The biggest issue is you cannot have it too humid in there. They are a desert species despite their proximity to the coast and do not lose moisture through the cuticles as most species do. I would recommend a top opening enclosure and make sure you have anchor points below the lid. As long as your highest anchor point is below the level of the lid you shouldn’t have any issues with accessing the enclosure. All of mine are content to sit very still in one spot and wait for food to fall from the sky. Definitely a must have for any collection.</p></blockquote><p></p>
