Jeweled Curlytail

[maddogg9019]

Allright everyone this is the last inquiry for the week I promise :-D . How active are they? How do they deal with handling? What size cage do you think I would need to properly house 4 of these guys? do they have a specialized diet? What temps/humidity are needed? Finally what should I use for substrate? Sorry for all of the questions, but if anyone could answer them it would be a huge help as I'm looking into these beauts. Thanks for your time

I do not know much about them, I wish I could help more. I do know we have Curlytail lizards here in our state and they are lizard eaters. They are causing some problems in south Florida, they are said to be eating all of our native small lizard species.

i dont think they get bigger than 10 or 12 inches, and they could probably be kept in a forty gallon maybe a little larger, on a mixture of sand and (peat moss or )something to retain humidity. besides eating lizards, they are probably pretty much insectivorous. i looked for caresheets, but couldnt find to many online, but they seem like they are pretty easy captives as long as they are parasite free.
