My boy matured at just over 2 years old and survived another 14 months.They are very easy to keep, love their food and almost always in full view. Their only drawbacks are they often pounce on anything that moves so tongs are a must for maintenance and their urticating hairs can cause severe irritation although neither of mine have caused me any problems so far and I've had my female for 4 years now.</blockquote>
