CARE NOTES
Keeping considerations
Requires a vertical arboreal enclosure outfitted with cork bark flats, branches, and artificial or live plants. Excellent cross-ventilation is absolutely critical; warm, stagnant, or swampy conditions quickly cause health issues. Maintain moisture levels using a reliable water dish and occasional misting or dampening of substrate while ensuring the air keeps moving.
