Anyone have any experience or know much about these? Found them pretty cool but there isn't much info available on them, but they might be something I'm interested in some day.

Good luck finding one. I am not sure they exist in the hobby this article is the only thing I found that even mentioned keeping them.

I saw a couple offered by an importer a couple years ago, which I assume were wild caught. I haven't heard of any successful captive breeding projects, certainly none by hobbyists(if they have been bred in laboratory settings, the offspring would not likely find their way into the pet trade)

It does seem that they are possible to keep in captivity, but they have special needs and are very rarely imported. I think shipping is probably really hard on them as they don't appear to be very hardy at all. If you ever do find some...expect to pay a lot of money.

Yeah I did. Awesome animals. It's nice finding out about animals you're not familiar with.
