baldy Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 whats involved in keeping them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godmutha Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 My parents have these things lurking around the garden in Spain. Great fun to watch but I've heard nasty stories of them holding guys down, having sexual intercourse then cutting of the head. I'm ok with girlfriends doing that, but pets,.... no thanks.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
