Ok, most people know how to care for this species but some people are just starting out or need better info. Than on care sheets. This is my simple, helpful care guide.
Temp: Keep this species at room temp around 72-75 degrees.
Humidity: No specifics but signs are easy to tell when the need more or less. If it is hovering over its water dish it needs it to be more humid. If it is on the walls constantly it needs less and the sub is to soaked.DO NO MIST OR SOAK SUBSTRATE.
Enclosure: I am using a 18 quart Rubbermaid for this just be sure to use the right ventilation(drill worked best for me).
Substrate: Bone dry substrate I only add water to it when I overflow the dish(do not do it every day maybe once every two weeks).
Food: This varies but as a sling feed it nothing bigger than a small worm or the smallest crickets you can find. As a juvenile feed it larger insects like bigger worms and crickets. This is the same for an adult, you can feed it roaches as an adult. I'm going to base the feeding off an adult since most people get adults as a beginner IMO. Feed 4-5 worms every two weeks 3 crickets every two weeks or 1-2 roaches every two weeks. NOTE: this species goes on looong fasting periods so do not worry if it doesn't eat just take the food out before you go to bed or when you wake up( I feed mine when I wake up and when I get home I take the uneaten food out.
Decor: coco fiber/bark hide or pvc/ water dish and some fake plants
This is a relatively docile and easy species to look after so I reccomend it as a beginner species
I made this to be as simple and straight forward as possible.
Thank you
