Hey guys. As some of you know I just lost my adult male A. Chalcodes, Howard. He was my first T. I just got this beauty today. I have named it Conrad. I've been reading all I can on here about the species but any tips and tricks are welcome. I'm very excited. Thanks all!

Nice T.

They're pretty easy to care for. Mine likes a hide but is tends to be on display a lot. IMO they drink a lot! More than my other Ts. Make sure it has a water dish that it can access easily. They're very good eaters, and think anything is food, watch those fingers! Substrate wise I mix coco fibre, standard top soil and shpagnum moss as a thin base layer, then top up with coco fibre.
Enjoy!

Keep your fingers out of the enclosure.
