Sweet pickup, but I would highly recommend not handling for quite a while. GTPs stress very easily and will go off feed, there is also a fairly large risk of damaging their spine. Make sure you are able to maintain the proper temps and humidity as well as they do not take very well to keeper mistakes.

Any pics of the enclosure? Who did you get it from? Is it a Biak?

thanks, yeah iv read that. iv handled it a few times but all of those time i let it come onto me o i dont use any force at all to get him/her on me.when i got it home i few it the following night. which was pretty cool to see.=] so far im maintaining 85 to 90. and humidity is around 75 to 80. im still working in the cage. right now its a storage bin with a 3 prong branch in it with cypress mulch. ill get some pics later tonight maybe. i got most of my info online and from cutegayjason. the guy who has like 30 of em. i basically followed his cage design and care along with other people. im taking all the info i can get from people im really nervous with this one since i heard they can be a little difficult.

o almost forgot, im pretty sure its a sarong. teh expo vendor didnt have a name. plus the guy was selling for his friend that wasent there at the time...kinda sketchy but im happy so far. and i wasent able to get much info from him either.=/

I would try to offer a temp gradient of 75-88.
