back when i kept them....98 to 01....i used a 55 long with lots of cover and lots of hides. used fake plants w/ vermiculite pots for laying. lots of fake plants and driftwood, corkbark hides, they were happy all 1.3 of them. multiple water and babyfood/calcium dishes. and enough crickets and zoophobes for everyone! females laid eggs like clockwork every 28 days. they got a little too happy, had to pull the male for a while from time to time. they sometimes retain sperm too. good luck they are fun to breed...little boxes of chocolates ya never know what you are gonna get!! have fun!
