Room temp. 60-80 humidity and they are arboreal. It's bad for them to be above 80 degrees. They are a little skittish at first but I've heard that they are real tame once they get to know you. They jump so thee is a certain way you have to handle.them at first but they are tons of fun. The first time I ever held one it jumped from my hand to my shoulder then on to my ear.
