Handling: Will tolerate handling but can be very fast
Suitability: Well-researched keeper
Natural habitat: Rainforests of Central America, near bodies of water
Enclosure recommendations
Due to their high activity levels and arboreal (tree-dwelling) nature, adults should be housed in enclosures measuring 4ft long x 3ft high minimum. They should be provided with thermostatically controlled overhead heating, and medium-level UV lighting. As they are a tropical species they will not tolerate a significant temperature drop at night. Temperatures and humidity should be measured with a digital thermo-hygrometer for accuracy.
