Care, breeding and tankmates
Terrarium Setup: Low and wide terrarium (minimum 80x45x45 cm). Use a dry clay-sand-soil mix substrate. Provide three hides: warm side, cool side, and a mandatory humid hide filled with damp sphagnum moss.
Lighting and Heating: Provide a warm spot of 30-32°C using a thermostat-controlled heat mat, with a cool side of 24°C. Night drop to 20°C. Provide low 7% UVB lighting.
Humidity and Hydration: Maintain low humidity (30-40%). Provide a shallow water dish. Keep the humid hide moist to assist with shedding and prevent toe necrosis.
Feeding and Supplementation: Insectivorous. Feed crickets, roaches, and mealworms. Dust prey with pure calcium at every feeding, and calcium+D3/multivitamins once or twice a week.
Compatibility: Strictly solitary. Never house males together. A male can be kept with females only in large terrariums, but single housing is recommended.
Health and Common Diseases: Watch for thinning tail ("stick tail disease") indicating parasites. Prone to Metabolic Bone Disease if calcium is lacking. Handle gently to prevent tail loss.

The catalog's scalar value is 17 cm. The ReptTraits v1.2 source reports a maximum adult measurement of 17 cm for this species, recorded as snout–vent length (SVL). These figures are not interchangeable: the first is the profile's editorial reference, whereas the second is a published maximum under a specific measurement convention; differences among sources can reflect sex, population, life stage and measuring method.
