P.S. What is your basic care routine for your GTPs? Just kinda curious...like humidity and feeding-wise.
Temps wise I keep a gradient, in each enclosure, between 28Cº and 32Cº, with a night drop where the coolest spot goes to around 26Cº.
Humiditywise, they need a RH between 60% and 90%nish. You just have to spray the enclosure with lukewarm water ( like a tropical rain ) with the frequency you determine is neede to keep them around that %. After each spay you have to wait for the environment to dry out, again.
When in shedding, the week /10 days of pre-shed period, you should keep the RH constantly on the higher side.
( In summer I spray everyday because the air conditioner dries the ambient air )
In any case, you should not exagerate on the humidity, because a constanly humid environemt is conducive to fungus and bacteriae development and hence to disease. In doubt, it is always better drier than wet.
Being nocturnal animals ( they spend the day coiled on their perches and hunt at night ) you feed them at lights out.
Up to 2 years I feed them once per week/10 days.
Beyond that, I feed males every 15 days and females it depends. Sometimes mine go without feeding for nearly a month.
( I make it a habit of trying to wait for them to start hunting and hunt for a coupkle of nights before feeding them )
What do I feed: Mice, Rats, Soft fur mice, siberian hamsters and I have one Biak who only eats chicks.
That was it in a nutshell.
But please read the book by Maxwell and study all you can before commiting.
