Fantastic animals. Very active. Mine is almost always out cruising around. As far as temperament, mine is very flighty at first but calms down. I have handled some that were the spawn of Satan, but not many. They do seem to go through a phase were they can get nippy, but most will grow out of this quickly. They almost never turn down food, and they are pretty easy to keep. Husbandry is pretty simple. I keep my warm side at 83 and my cool side at 75. Humidity around 70%. As far as enclosure size, go as big as you can. This is one species that will use every inch of space you give them. Females typically get 6-7', while males will get 7-8'. Girth is about the same size as a water bottle.
