They are not difficult to care for. Their temps need to be room temp, nothing above low 80s and above the low to mid 70s. Babies can be sometimes difficult to get feeding. But with patience they do well once they figure it out. Most breeders will not sell babies till they are eating whole pinkies. As babies they eat pinky parts. They lay in the branches about as much as they lay on the ground. They are very non-aggressive, but occasionaly you will get one that strikes alot. Mine usually dont move when I open their cage. It sometimes can be a trick just to get a strike during feeding. Usually they just twitch their heads. But just because they are more relaxed then other species you have still treat them like a loaded gun, ready to go off at any moment. All in all they are a very good species for a rookie hot keeper. There are some arboreal species that strike at anything.
