I can see them both !!

I like the amphibians [would love to have some red spotted newts like I had when I was a kid .. ]

What temps do they like ???

Food ??

For now they are eating crickets, I breed roaches but they wont touch them so for the first time in six years I have bought crickets. Their temps range from 72 at night to 75 during the day. They are so amazing to watch. My soon to be husband and I met in Costa Rica on a school trip with several schools from around the country. We saw so many of these guys there and fell in love with their colors. When I saw them at my store I just had to get them.

Cool !! Interesting story ...

What are those Fruit Flies that they sell in cultures ??

The things we used to call fruit flies were very small and I don`t know how you would handle them [flies all over I would think ] ..

How will you keep them cool ??

 

[Tegu1991]

the fruit flys actually cant fly, they crawl. I used to feed them to my baby anoles I would find who were beaten up by something. I would feed them and care for them until they were well enough to go back to the wild. I kept mine at room temp and they did fine.

Is it hard to keep a culture of fruit flies alive ???

I kept anoles because I thought they were cool ...

 

[Tegu1991]

not hard at all, I had mine breed for me. I had one tube for breeders and one for feeders. Just keep them on a shelf or something like that away from sunlight or drafts.
