Hehehe, I guess you saw that 1.1 pair down at kritters and fins... If they are... First of all, (if they still have them) They were $180, and these are Captive Bred (almost impossible to get in desert iggys), so they are worth it. They run around $75 each for a wild caught, and $15 more for a CB... I almost bought em.

Here is the info I gathered:

Coconut fiber is a great substrate ($6 from Worlds')

27g tank for a pair

Basking spot of 105F-115F, cool side as low as 80F, nightime can dip into the low 60's, but room temp is usually fine (about 66F-70F nightly)

Full spectrum UV light (just like beardies and other iggies)

A small dish of water on the cooler side

Feed 75% veggies, 25% bugs. Veggies include: collared greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, and romaine lettuce, hibiscus, rose petals, cactus, strawberries, mango, grapes, and kiwi, but mostly the first leafy veggies mentioned. Dust the food with lots of calcium/ little bit of vitamins.

is a good site, so is

20DIs.htm

This is a good site, but some info is a little exaggerated (saying a 100g tank is ideal, when that is exceptional, blah blah blah... ) and she makes it sound like they need a lot, which they do not, but it is a good site

P.S. If you breed them, I would love one
