Well after seeing my buddies and reading up the husbandry the past few weeks I've decided to get a pair of my own.
I'm running a 100 Watt CHE and UVA/UVB bulb 12 hours on and off with day time temps 75 cool side 80 hot side and a basking spot of 98-102. My night time temps are around 70-73. Surface temperatures were all measured with an infrared thermometer.
Currently they're both being housed in what I think is a 60 gallon with substrate around 3-5 inches depending on the spot in the tank. They were being introduced to each other with short periods of time for a week with no aggression so I am housing them together temporarily and they haven't had a problem yet. Most of the time they're both burrowed under the x-large hide I'm using.
Picture of the first day which barely shows their colors on my phone... (crappy meal, was just seeing if they wanted to eat)
Tomorrow's meal (carrots, kale, broccoli and mustard greens)
Still haven't decided what protein I will be feeding, most likely dubia's if I can find them locally.
They are on a feeding schedule of every three days.
