Temperature range | 70-85 °F (21-29 °C) |
Humidity Range | 65-80% |

Behavior | A sit-and-wait predator. It does not play, usually sits still for hours, and it burrows itself into the substrate most of the time. They can’t be trained to do the tricks. They also won’t recognize or welcome the owner. |
Handling | Their skin is very delicate, and it is not recommended to touch or pet it — at all. They can bite when threatened. |
