They keep them in small critter keepers with about an inch of Eco Earth and a small water bowl with sponge. The Eco Earth is constantly saturated and the little buggers are constantly up in the corners.The local Petco is much better. They have the Avics as well and all seem to be kept remotely well--G. roseas dry with a lain water dish and hide and the Avics moist with tall plants and branches.I hate mainstream pet shops. There's a local shop here with knowledgable staff and one of the employees was a big G. pulchripes breeder.</blockquote>
