I recently caught what I'm pretty sure is an H turcicus. I'm planning on keeping it, and I need a quick caresheet from people who've had members of this genus or spp that are kept similarly. I have 13 tarantulas, so I'm pretty okay at keeping those, and everything I've read seems like it won't be much different keeping a Hemidactylus sp. High humidity (70-85% range?) and high temps required(80-85 day/60-65 night?), feed it roaches about the size of its head, and give it a place to hide with not too much room in the enclosure.
The one I have is about 1.5-2" or so (haven't measured it). How big will it get, how often do I feed it, and how big should the housing be? I've got it in a deli cup I got some mac n cheese in (yummm) from Walmarket I think..it measures a 5" diameter at the top and it's 3" high. There's bark for climbing (these are arboreal, yeah?)
It'd be great if someone could find a good caresheet, but I've found those can be pretty wrong about tarantulas..and they're probably wrong about geckos, more popular though they may be.
Thanks :biggrin:
