Did this species from Venezuela know it would become this popular? The truly great ones never do. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous teal body with an orange abdomen. They love to eat, so keep it coming, and they abhor humidity, so if you keep them wet, you’ll kill them. Think of them as the New World’s version of Pterinochilus. 75-84F works beautifully, and again, no excess humidity. They are a bit spazzy, so handling is not recommended. They are an essential addition to any terrestrial collection. This male matured out 7-21-2017 so he’s very fresh. No trades or 50/50 on him, please don’t ask.
